The "Bush tax cuts" for earners up to 400,000 were made permanent. The AMT was fixed, by indexing it to inflation so its creep against the middle class has been stopped. The obsolete cut in reimbursements to medical providers was voided, meaning that Medicare will still pay doctors enough to keep them in business seeing your granny.

The 2% cut in SS tax was let lapse, so it will go back up to where it was for everyone. Taxes on dividends and capital gains go to 20% from 15% for those making 400,000 or over. Other provisions pro and con on limits and caps and such.

Some key achievements, some concessions. Hardly a catastrophe.

The next leg, on debt limit and spending cuts will tell the tale.

Shoring up Obamacare, another win for the GOP. Do you work for Rep. Boehner? This entire process was a FAIL cluster by the GOP. I am not sure why you are finding these are “key achievements”.
