I'm not thrilled with it, but I also understand that when our political system forces you to negotiate with crazies, you're forced to either accomplish nothing or do some things you don't really want to. Another part of me wonders if we would have been better off had we simply refused to argue with them and just went over the fiscal cliff.
And, yes, the Republican part of just 20 years ago is nothing like what we have now. I mean, the fuckin' Democrats are actually able to quote Ronald Reagan in defense of their policies!
