As I said in the other thread on this same topic, any deal that has both the far Right and the far Left opposed to it can't be all bad.

Sorry, Art, but it ain't just the "far left" that's opposed to it- most rational, middle-of-the-road folks - including what's left of the old, sentient Republican party are against cuts to domestic programs that help the sick, poor and disabled and sustaining Tax Cuts For The Rich.

"Not all bad", perhaps- but the part that isn't bad is pretty damn small.
