How can any agreement be a cave for Obama
when the most proposed revenue comes from doing nothing and letting the Bush cuts expire?

I'm more worried they will agree to something that supersedes the lapse of the Bush Tax cuts.

4. If that is the only source of revenue what choice is there?

5. That's a good question. It appears the Repubs are willing to take down the country to keep tax cuts.
How do you deal with crazy?

2. I thought that letting Bush Tax Cuts expire = $3.8 trillion which also= Obama's magic number
for this "grand deal"

3. It's not $4.1 trillion? Not sure what the latest number is.
I heard the gang of 6 agreement is $1 trillion less in revenue.
