It may not be much, but Congress' latest budget deal is a small victory for bipartisanship, the Washington Post's editorial board decided this week.

The deal, which certain Republican lawmakers have decried as "terrible," will prevent the federal government from hitting the debt ceiling on Nov. 3, thus erasing the threat of a possible default until March 2017.

But more importantly, the Post explained, the deal shows that Congress isn't completely broken.
