What's next?
A budget deal that's balanced. We got $1.2T in budget cuts in 2011. We got $.7T in revenue with the fiscal cliff deal. Meaningful tax reform and entitlement reform has been discussed for years. Everyone knows what needs to be done. The problem is lack of willingness to compromise.
What is not next, which you continually never address, is the idiocy of defaulting on the national debt. When Newt Gingrich becomes the voice of reason in the GOP you know this is a party with real problems.
