This is really interesting to read. The 'Conservatives' are beside themselves that their Reps caved in and passed what Obama offered them. They had to. Both the ciitizens of this nation, and the economic powers that be demanded that they pass the bill and avert the fiscal cliff.
The fun part is that the GOP got far less than they would have had they taken the President's first offer. That is how it goes in a negotiation where one side holds the cards, the other side bluffs, and their bluff is called. The person bluffing loses.
And how have the markets reacted? In spite of all the gloom and doom from the wingnut side, a runup of 300+ points. And, in the meantime, the unemployment claims are down again. And with the assurance of more stability, some of that money that has been hanging out there, should now come into the markets in the form of new investments. Looks like a very good year shaping up for our President and the citizens of this nation.
Its almost funny that you believe the cliff was averted.
