RW, > As I said before, it looks like the government is working the way it's supposed to, with (albeit ugly) compromise. The center seems to be winning.

Hard to say when the "center" is tough to nail down. If both the extreme left and the extreme right are equally pissed, that's one thing, but "center" these days means only meeting Pelosi and Reid halfway and calling that "concessions to the right."

But WTHDIK? I'm an advocate for doing nothing, but politically that will never fly, and we live in a political world.

> One thing for sure is the Reps were the biggest porker congress in history, so the way this is unfolding seems like a huge improvement.

One of the worst things about Bush and the GOP Congress was their runaway spending. Among other things like the exploding debt, it gives the Democrats a complete pass on these things.
