Both parties are playing chicken with our economy. Sadly with the slim margin of error the only thing new are the consequences.
I am on the side of the GOP in terms of having to have the cuts before we raise taxes in a recession. I think the extension until a detailed agreement can be found is the best we can do and Obama has said no because he thinks he can extort them out of what he wants without giving up anything. I would rather the automatic cuts were across the board to all departments and agencies, but in the end, they need to go through it line by line and come up with a budget not some half-ass patch.
