I had a sick feeling that this was the real tax compromise. Reid/Pelosi/Obama agreed to pass a Bush tax cut extension, if the GOP let DADT repeal pass and the START treaty pass. I’m glad DREAM Act wasn’t part of the deal. Everything since the tax rate extension compromise came out is just theater, IMO. It is a done deal. It is really sickening that the GOP would do this after the 2010 elections. What a bunch of wussie, unprincipled cowards.
