No more footballs

In the next two months, Congress will take up their deficit reduction game without the benefit of unemployment insurance, middle-class tax breaks, and the other spending initiatives achieved by Democrats in negotiations as leverage in further budget-cutting fights.

The cuts, the debt-limit, other deficit concerns must now be addressed on their own merits. In a lot of ways, that's where this process began. It's basically defense spending vs. the rest of the budget.

And, btw, no tax policy is 'permanent.' Look at that capital gains tax rate in the 'deal' reported, where capital gains and dividend tax rates will increase from 15 to 20 percent.

Glad the guests will be showing up soon, no time to read the Obama Sucks threads.
