I don't see how the Reps, even the few who are sensible, can compromise. If they go along with ANY tax increase they'll have the Club for Growth and the other PACs, Rush and the right wing media, the tea party folks all calling them traitors and RINOs. Not healthy.

Despite the influence of populist movements like the tea party, the US is solidly entrenched as a plutocracy, and as such remedies to existential problems will only become inevitable when collapse has taken place...we're not quite there yet...despite the debt commission's dire warnings.
So look for more of the same...republicans will continue with tax policies that created ZERO net job growth since passage in 2001, and they will argue the same tired argument of the fantastic stimulative effects of tax cuts.
