Maybe the part where, even next year, the Dems still control the Senate and the White House?

Until the GOP can gain control, there will have to be compromises with the Dems to get items such as the Bush tax cuts extended.

Sorry but we won this November. When the hell did Obama and the Dems compromise with the GOP? Everything in this deal is bad. The only worthwile deal would be an extension on ALL tax rates without any other strings attached.

And just as I type this Obama is on TV talking about this "deal" and framing the debate. Thanks a lot Boehner and McConnell!

Yeah, it amazes how that escapes so many here on FR...

At the rate they are going they will never gain control.

A two year period without tax increases is NOT going to spur an employment frenzy by any means.

It needs to be permanent or permanent employment will not increase.

It's good for temp agencies and that's about it.
