Haven't had to time to read what the Senate passed yet... But I'd rather call anything passed now just another "Kick the Can Down the Road" bill... The patient is hemorrhaging and congress is still playing with band-aids.

"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...” -
kind of simplistic.
a real family usually has LOTS of debt. mortgage, student loans, car loans.
federal debt is only a problem if it affects inflation/interest rates. currently, it's not touching either. do we need better long-term fiscal reform? yep. but we need to be rational, not reactionary about the debt.Comment

Boehner Responds to Reid: 'Go Fuck Yourself'
House Speaker John Boehner couldn’t hold back when he spotted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the White House lobby last Friday.
It was only a few days before the nation would go over the fiscal cliff, no bipartisan agreement was in sight, and Reid had just publicly accused Boehner of running a “dictatorship” in the House and caring more about holding onto his gavel than striking a deal.
“Go fuck yourself,” Boehner sniped as he pointed his finger at Reid, according to multiple sources present.
Reid, a bit startled, replied: “What are you talking about?”
Boehner repeated: “Go fuck yourself.”
The harsh exchange just a few steps from the Oval Office — which Boehner later bragged about to fellow Republicans — was only one episode in nearly two months of high-stakes negotiations laced with distrust, miscommunication, false starts and yelling matches as Washington struggled to ward off $500 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts.

Good for Boehner!! It's about time Washington moved back to a "Deadwood" like era of politics... Cocksuckers!!
Reading what they passed... none of it bothers me much nor impresses me either. The one piece that sounds like the smartest thing congress has done to the tax code in the last 30 years was permanently fix that gawd-damned Alternative Minimum Tax... sucker has rose up and bit us 6 out of the last 10 years... Although I'm waiting to see how accurately they indexed it to inflation. If done right I shouldn't be able to even smell the damn thing...
--Alternative minimum tax: Permanently addresses the alternative minimum tax and indexes it for inflation to prevent nearly 30 million middle- and upper-middle income taxpayers from being hit with higher tax bills averaging almost $3,000. The tax was originally designed to ensure that the wealthy did not avoid owing taxes by using loopholes.

Payroll taxes still go up, from 4.2% to 6.2%. For the average American Worker making $41K, that's $32 less in their paycheck they will see every 2 weeks. Serious grocery money for a family of 4.“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. BushComment

Well, now that the government seems to agree that nobody is "rich" who makes less than $400K, then the simple solution for Social Security is to raise the cap to that same level. (At least).
If they did that, they might even get away with leaving it at 4.2%Eat Us And Smile
