>> I am more and more believing this may be the only way out.

They [the admin] have said it isn't an option. Geithner reiterated it this morning. They're not going to try this, and one can easily see why. If there is going to be a "crisis" they would rather deal with it now than a year from now. A deal is going to be struck.

The Rs put a deal on the table for 4T in cuts and 800B in taxes. Obama, out of hard-headedness, insisted on 1.2T in tax increases, clearly positioning for a deal at 4T and 1T, which I predict will be the outcome.

Imagine. A few months ago, Obama was unwilling to cut a damned thing, and Boehner has forced him to a deal to cut 4T.

This is a huge win for America. Even if it has been ugly getting there.
