This is disappointing. I was hoping to take a contrarian tactic here...
They are playing the pass the hot potato game right now. The Dem controlled Senate is waiting until the last minute to give the Repub House a deal they know won't pass. Then they can blame the Repubs for going over the cliff.

Any deal passed today will be meaningless. The big negotiation will happen in the new year with the debt ceiling coming up in a couple months. Then they will be forced to do something big, one way or the other.
