the Paul Ryan surrender brigade

Many in the financial press are on their feet, cheering, throwing streamers. Paul Ryan has come to a budget agreement with the (D), to the rescue of the Republican Party. Yes, there is an adult in the Republican party; Paul Ryan has saved the Republicans from themselves. There will be no government shutdown. Surely Presidential material, no?
No...
What nonsense.
The Republican Party has simply surrendered to the legions of Caesar Obama.
I find nothing to cheer or be happy about. Sequester was working: government spending was going down, and would have continued to be so if just left alone. This was the first step towards the healing of the American economy. This was a good thing. Then, Mr. Ryan tossed the box of chocolate chip cookies overboard, and now everyone is feting him.
I fail to see how (R) have benefited.
