Deal in the Works on Tax Cuts?

So says people smarter than me.

Here's where I stand on the tax cuts. I'm for extending them for people and families making less than $250K. I'm for extending them to people making less than one million. I'm for extending them to people who make more than one million. It really doesn't matter.  Here's why:

The only way to really get serious about the budget deficit is to let the tax cuts expire for everyone.  Doing that is neither feasible nor going to happen in this climate.  So just do whatever.  Extend them for the middle class; extend them for millionaires; extend them for billionaires; extend them for everyone because it really doesn't matter since there is no possibility of returning back to the Clinton-era tax rates.  I really don't understand the big fuss from Democrats on this one.

Dems apparently want to act outraged that all brackets will be extended.  Where was the outrage when the public option was dropped?  Where was the outrage when Republicans filibustered DADT?  Where was this outrage when a Republican posted a socialist indoctrinated photo of President Obama on the House Floor?  But now, you want to pretend you are outraged when your plan that will do next to nothing to solve the budget deficit is being compromised by the very opposition party you have allowed to only grow stronger?  Get real Dems.  Get real.
