The way I understand it, the sequester was already agreed upon and the current "fiscal cliff" crap is about finding any way possible to undo the spending cuts.The sequester.
As Sniperfire pointed out recently, the sequester is the compromise they said they couldn't agree on.
Exactly. And while I have no doubt Boehner would fold like a cheap tent, The Tea Party contingency will be gonzo if they vote for kicking the can down the road.
My guess is they 'raise revenues' by closing some backdoor tax avoidance ability of the wealthy. As you have pointed out, the amount of revenues involved here is an elephants ass pimple, but there is face to be saved for all.
