2. The Planned Parenthood one, at least, was stripped out.

I don't know about the others.

4. They will get more..

[CoffeeCat]

5. They want to strip funding for the EPA...

...to regulate Greenhouse Gasses?????

Our own EPA isn't supposed to regulate greenhouse gasses?

What is that organization for, then?

Jaysus!

7. All of those are so extreme,

if they are in, it would have been better to shut the government down.

[Tx4obama]

8. My guess is that MOST of those have been pulled.

The PP one has been pulled.
The EPA can't stay, because Obama already said he'd veto the bill if EPA was attached.

I bet all of them will be pulled.

You can't 'legislate' via a budget! Well you shouldn't at least.

p.s. As soon as someone has a NEW revised list from the new agreement please post it.

6. Up to a point they are right.

There probably is too much government involvement in our lives. But then again, there are so many republicans who need an eye kept on them.
