The only way out of our financial problems is greater growth.

Greater taxes and greater regulation will not accomplish that goal.

Personally, I was surprised at the ground Obama gave in the estate tax. He had been pushing for far more.

Also, he gave on the dividend taxes. I haven't read the details but at the end he did not get what he wanted there.

Contrary to what people said about Obama wanting to go off the cliff, it seems to me he was pretty anxious to get a deal in the last 24 hours. And from what I hear McConnell had to go to Biden to get a deal because Reid wasn't doing a thing.

The dust is just starting to settle on this thing. It will be interesting to see politically where we are in a couple of weeks.
