No deal is a bad deal for Democrats

After the Super-Committee couldn't come up with a way to cut 1.2 trillion dollars from the budget over the next 10 years (was anyone really surprised?), the big surprise is that Democrats are scratching their heads over how this could happen. Why? The Tea Party had no skin in the deal. If no deal was met, what taxes would be raised? None, the entire 1.2 trillions were cuts, not tax increases. If there was no deal, Senators had already decided to write laws to exempt the military from the cuts, so all the cuts would come from domestic programs. So since this is exactly what the Tea Party would find acceptable, what were they bringing to the table? That's right, absolutely nothing. So no deal by the Super-Committee was still a deal for the country, just a bad one for the Democrats, and for the 99% that will be hurt by the cuts.
