Boehner said he got 98% of what he wanted. The Tea Party can’t escape taking a victory lap.

I'm having a tough time buying that. He wanted a two step borrowing authority... but Obama sees his way clear to 2.5 Trillion in additional borrowing. He wanted 4, and then 3 dollars in cuts for every dollar in tax increases. He got maybe one, if you believe in outlying cuts to baseline budgeting, and ignore the likely veto of the Bush taxrate expiration and the 3.8% taxhike built into Obamacare after 2012.

How did he get 98% of his wishlist?

Actually the ones who cannot avoid taking a victory lap here are you Democrat party activists.

Federal Deficit as % of GDP when Bush left office: 69%

Federal Deficit as % of GDP after 3 years of Obama 97%

No amount of spin, demagoguery or out and out lying by you Democrat party bots is going to change the facts to hide your party's sole ownership of the broken US Economy.
