“Lot of promised spending cuts. 1 trillion in ‘new revenue’. I’ve seen this movie before. Here’s a spoiler: new taxes stay, spending cuts go away in the next congress. No deal.”............

I agree, NO DEAL!. Spending cuts are nothing more than not spending anymore than what is already planned. They are not CUTS at all. New revenue means nothing but MORE, increased taxes. They don’t care where that money comes from just so they get it. The Dems will distort their plan, lie and cheat but in the end, you too will be screwed.

Oh, and wait for the oh-so honorable democrat's campaign ads in 2012. "Look at what the REPUBLICANS did to you. They promised not to raise taxes, and then gave you the biggest tax increase in history."

If the GOP caves, they're dead, politically.
