At this point, maybe it's better to go over the cliff and try again when the new congress comes in. If Republicans are actually led by Grover Norquist, they probably don't have any authority to cut a deal anyway. Think about it, speaker Boehner is saying Republicans are "afraid to be seen raising taxes" but are willing to let taxes for 98% of Americans go up. VOTE REPUBLICANS OUT.

The "free economy" republicans ideology and plan: Deregulate the financial market, allow stocks to be over-capitalized so those in the know can drain IRA savings, implement tax cuts to the rich and say they will create jobs but hoard the money in bank accounts and try to eliminate the capital gains tax. Then blame social security, medicare, the elderly, the poor and disabled for the economic crisis. Seriously, it's time for Republicans to take responsibility for their mess.

Why is it that the so called smart people in the government don't know what the average citizen obviously knows?

I would go for that so long as we put the max tax rate back on the top 2% where it was under Nixon & Ford.
