Actually Republicans DID cave.

What do you mean they "caved"?

The primary goal of the Republicans in this has been identical to Obama's EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY.

Raise the debt ceiling by more than two TRILLION dollars.

So, again, where's the "cave"?

They agreed to extend the debt ceiling past the 2012 elections, agreed to some stupid committee making decisions, or across the board cuts, which are stupid, see my earlier post a few posts back.

Nobody agreed to actually pass a balanced budget amendment.

Nobody agreed to “no new taxes”, only not right this minute.

This is all just to save face, the only thing the Dems wanted, is a large increase in the debt ceiling and they got it. None of the other stuff is real.
