so, it appears that the deal will be to extend the tax cuts for everyone for 2 years, in exchange for 13 months of unemployment benefits. it's really sad that extending UI during a recession is now being called a "concession" from the republicans. that move has never been controversial before, in any recession we've had since the Depression.
but if they can repeal DADT, pass the Dream act and the START treaty after doing this, i guess i can live with it. i honestly think it's better than letting taxes go up on everyone and not getting any of the rest of it done.
