 Fridays are awesome1. This one knows a little bit sweet because it is our last show of 2013. We are going to look back at some of the stories we covered this year, but first up, we've got congressional compromise. We are talking about budget, a plan for how the US government will spend money. The House representatives passed it last week, the senate passed it this week. And when Present Obama signs it which he said he will, it will become law. Over the past several years, any budget talks have been tense. Republicans and democrats2 compromise to come up with this plan. Several members of both parties are happy with some of what's in the budget deal or what's not. Some point it out that the budget will reduce some military benefits. Other criticize it for not including an extension for unemployment benefits. Well, one senate said that's how things go when senates in the House are controlled by different parties. He said "Nothing's going to be perfect in this world, it's called compromise." This budget plan does outline government spending through 2015.  It loosens some spending restrictions3 that were in place and it cancels some cuts that affected4 different government programs. Plus, this deal makes unlikely for there to be another government shut down like the one happened earlier this year. 

 
Target is the second biggest merchandise retail5 chain in the country. But Target became a target of security breach6 and it could affect 40 million people. The breach involved data for credit cards and debit7 cards. If you shopped at the Target store between November 27th and December 15th, you might be affected. This is only if you shopped in a brick and mortar8 stores, so online sells not involved. Target hasn't said how its systems were hacked9, but it did say the issue that allowed the breach has been identified and resolved. US Secret Service is investigating. That agency is responsible for protecting the country's financial framework and payment systems. If you think you might have been affected by this or if you ever affected by stoning credit card information, there are some ways to protect yourself. Check your statements and look for charges you don't  recognize, call your credit card company and bank, and let them know what has happend, and if you need to, replace your card and get a new pin number.
