Will the Republi-CONs Just Admit Defeat By Decalring Victory?

"The single most important fact about the fiscal battles consuming Washington right now continues to be poorly understood. It’s this: Republicans are not going to get the serious entitlement cuts they say they want unless they agree to new revenues. . .

Here’s why this is key to the current battle. It leaves only two possible conclusions: Either the two sides reach a deal that combines serious entitlement cuts and new revenues via the closing of loopholes, or there is no deal and the sequester continues indefinitely. . .

If Republicans really want to tackle the deficit, they just have to accept Yes for an answer."
