I think this guy has a good point. I was surprised how good a deal it was for the conservative side in terms of taxes and SS. It’s true we didn’t tackle the spending issue, but that was inevitable given the short time available to fix the looming tax problem. The other good news is that the Rs have good leverage on the spending issue via the debt ceiling, tho that is going to be another brutal battle, with the MSM throwing rocks at the good guys..

How many of us wanna bet the spending issue won’t be tackled until the very last minute and the end result will simply be this -— token cuts which does nothing to our huge deficits and debt?
Yeah, I reject the whole way this guy looks at the federal government’s role and purpose, but if it’s true that the tax rates for incomes below $450,000 are now permanent, that actually represent at least some of the “stability” that a lot of small business owners are looking for. They have been scared to death to create or expand operations out of fear of getting slammed with new and higher tax rates.
