ok well what happens when the short term deal runs out and by then the gang of 6 IS ready to put forth their proposal?

Then we go thru this again - and have to avoid a cave again - and risk falling further again...

Correct. Implement Krauthammer plan next week and cut the Gang of Six proposal to pieces over the coming months.

Then force Obama to short term increases w short term cuts through 2012.

The GOP does not have to win this battle; rather, it just cannot LOSE. ANY tax increase is the biggest loss.

Immediate debt increases for immediate spending cuts.

WHY do you think a short-term deal is needed?
