This travesty is not at all a "deal".  With the implementation of Obamacare, our President is fundamentally transforming our country and blaming everyone else for "his" executive decisions.  This is a MORAL issue. Obama has said America "can't simply cut our way to prosperity. Cutting spending goes hand in hand with tax codes". Obamacare, more specifically. Any intelligent individual who looks at the consequences of Obamacare will see that it is immoral, unmerciful, and hypocritical. Obamacare insures the uninsured. So HOW does Obama pay for their insurance? He robs from the special needs children, the elderly, the working folks and the organ transplant recipients, just to get started!! The plan is completely corrupt.

The government put a band-aid on our economic collapse with this "deal", but in reality, we will now watch the government continue to debate whether to again raise America's debt ceiling.   Obama refuses to look at meaningful tax reform and reform entitlements which our government CANNOT afford to continue to provide.  This "deal" actually raised taxes on working Americans so that we now will have less take-home pay and our money can be  redistributed to provide entitlements to those who do not work.

Because of Obama's continuous spending and adding "pork" in every hidden agenda, he is exponentially growing the national debt and handing it directly to our children.  Obama needs to LEAD, not dictate, and stop the blame game. He is robbing from our children and that is a MORAL problem which must be addressed.  He will not consider entitlement reform and he will not cut spending. Yet, the President could not even tell David Letterman on national TV recently what the escalating national debt is!  He does not even know!
