We have a state budget deal.

Here's my favorite part of the AP story:

The deal would slash spending by about 1 percent, but will not raise the state income tax or sales tax rates.

Slash? How come you never see a sign in a store window: PRICES SLASHED!!! SAVE 1 PERCENT on EVERYTHING IN STORE!

Also Big Ed says the taxpayers of Pennsylvania may not believe it but they're the "winners" in this deal.

Don't you feel like a winner? And it all thanks to the dealmaking abilities of our governor and state legislators? How can we ever thank them?

Any suggestions?
