This guy

@GroverNorquist: The Bush tax cuts lapsed at midnight last night. Every R voting for Senate bill is cutting taxes and keeping his/her pledge.

Tea Party types totally overplayed their hand. I don't know much about poker, but I don't think you can bluff if everybody has seen your cards. They're utter morons and they should go away.

So basically we revisit this in two months but instead of a 1 million dollar tax threshold starting point for Rs it's at 400k?

I imagine the payroll tax will affect most people on this board. I know I will miss that extra $40 per paycheck.

Considering the deal only delays budget sequestration by two months and doesn't address the debt ceiling, perhaps they are.

That's inflation-adjusted "defense" spending. I'd love to know why we're paying $150 billion more per year now than we were at the height of the Cold War.

Obviously it's 9-11 since it's in red :idea:
