What's pathetic is how little they really gained. The can has been kicked down the road and the tax fight is not settled. The politicians think they have scored a win but the economists are saying the spending cuts could do more harm than good. Had we had a productive bi-partisan bill the benefits could have been much larger...
I think we may see the GOP distance themselves from the Tea Party in the run up to the 2012 election.

And if the Tea Party & the house didn't stand firm and stir the pot, where would we have been? Being that the big difference was
spending other people's money raising taxes, was that the solution?
If the house / TP didn't hold firm would this even have been brought up? Or would have been a rubber stamp for another 2 years?
We're BROKE. Moodys kept our AAA rating but our chief banker, China, downgraded us.
We are well into a constantly reducing set of options - halfway down a funnel where the deeper we go, the deeper we are and the best the left can do is call people effing terrorists? Complain that the teas party is blocking their ability to spend?
