Post your predictions on the unnecessarily complex budget/debt standoff:

[rucky]

1) Debt Ceiling

will be raised w/ no short-term extensions

2) Budget Cuts

$3T

3) Bush Tax Cuts for the 5%-ers

Will stay in place

4) Tax loopholes for the 5%-ers

Will be minorly tweaked & mostly meaningless

5) Social Security

The 2% "holiday" will become a 2-year vacation

6) Medicare

Will remain untouched

1. I don't think Medicare will remain untouched. Nt
