• Note: In this link, James Kwak suggests that the Republicans may have got what they wanted in the 2010 tax bill because what they got in the tax package supports their long term goals whereas what the Democrats got are short term (2 year) gains.  From this perspective, the Republicans won --- and for the Democrats, the glass should be seen as half-empty, or less. This is my take, Stephen Cusulos.  PS good charts and references to other "takes" on whether the tax deal served the Democrats well.
