If the House doesn't vote on it, it is not law...JUST A DEAL...

We are over the cliff, if the House does not vote on it. A law must be voted on by House and Senate, and signed by President..
a DEAL IS JUST A DEAL ...NOT A LAW....

It ain't over ...we will see.

I would like to see someone propose a bill that Congressional raises must be calculated the same way Social Security COLAs are.

Like as not, they'll see small concessions here and then decide they can trash the deal and hope for one even more favorable for them.

Never discount the power of Republican greed or stupidity

Pres. Obama and the Democratic Senate have done their job. Now the right-wingers in the House have to do theirs.
