Hilarious Republican infighting about the budget aside, the promise now is that we'll have a number-laden budget from the House Republicans sometime next week. And who knows? Maybe this was all a brilliant effort to lower expectations. Next week's budget will have some numbers, and those numbers will certainly be different than Obama's numbers, and House Republicans will declare victory. And no one will care. It'll be a budget that won't pass, that won't be scored, and that won't be remembered in three months. Sometimes, you wonder if most of what goes on in Washington isn't just a full employment plan for political journalists.
