I know that I'm supposed to be angry

but I'm not. One trillion over 10 years?  That's completely reasonable. No cuts until 2013? Just what President Obama wanted. SS and Medicare is not on the table. Although revenues did not make it to this agreement, it didn't make it because Reid forced Republicans to vote against it. And when the cuts come into play, they will come into play in 2013 at exactly the same time the Bush tax cuts expire, so once again either the Bush tax cuts expire, or Republicans go on record as believing that the wealthy should not pay their fair share under any circumstances, which is a terrible platform to run on.

I'm fine with this.
