Behind the deal is a creative way out of the impasse that’s held up the negotiations: how do you get “balanced approach” if Republicans refused to consider revenues? The solution that both sides seem to have settled on is to substitute defense cuts where taxes would otherwise have gone.
So, concerned citizens, call your elected reps today and tell them what you think of this deal. But be prepared to spend some time on hold, because speed-dialing defense industry lobbyists will be tying up the lines. And rest assured, your elected representatives will be taking their calls first.
