Yes, tactically that makes no sense. I liked the idea of having a stimulus based on increasing community colleges across the nation. The worst thing was freezing government workers pay. that made no sense to me at all. And this estate tax cut makes me crazy.

And this from NPR!!! ================================= National Review: Tax Fight On The Right? by Robert Costa .....excerpt Clinton's comments hint at growing discontent on the right over the deal, which was brokered by Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. While a broad swath of the GOP has backed the compromise, conservative lawmakers appear to be proceeding uneasily: Most are unhappy with aspects of the deal, but only a few are willing to completely shun it. Extending the tax rates, of course, garners near-universal acclaim. But Republicans view other parts of the deal, such as the temporary payroll-tax deduction, the $56 billion toward jobless benefits, and myriad Obama-favored tax credits, as hold-your-nose compromises. npr.org
