So what does it all mean?

Well, it has some minor , very minor cuts. It avoids a government shutdown. The cuts are not very big, nowhere near big enough to come anywhere close to balancing the US budget. And they are mostly fake cuts. And they don't come into effect until the "out years" (2021). Congress in 2021 isn't going to pay any attention to budget resolutions passed back in 2011. Just like today's Congress pays no attention to resolutions from 2001. Which is why discussing the US budget in terms of ten years is essentially deceptive. All and all I don't understand why the democrats are crying so loudly about the cuts. Cause there aren't any, really.
We don't do a tax hike. That's a goodness. Hiking taxes in the depths of Great Depression 2.0 is a bad idea.
We have made it clear to all the voters that the US is running on empty, money wise. That little fact has been concealed by the msm up to this time. Getting that truth out is worth a lot of hassle.
We have a lot of losers. Obama, Harry Reid, and the democrats look like losers. We don't have very many winners. John Boehner comes out looking pretty good, but that's about it.
