First, they agreed to do more or less what both sides wanted on the tax cuts. Then, to sweeten a pot already brimming with sugar, they tossed in hundreds of billions of dollars of further spending initiatives and tax breaks — including a raid on Social Security (which last I heard was supposed to be in need of saving).

 

Then they gravely agreed not to pay for any of it with a dime of cuts or tax hikes elsewhere. Passing all of it onto some future generation's bill.

 

As I said: You can't make this stuff up. Unless you're a politician.

 

The result, if it passes Congress, would be $900 billion added to the federal deficit in the next two years. That adds more to the national debt than the reviled stimulus program and health-care reform bill — combined.

I'm not in that 26%, but if we are going to extend any of them I think we should extend them all. I'd rather see us take our medicine but do have some worries about doing it now with unemployment already so high.
