If you’re like me, you may have seen a headline in your news feed Wednesday evening that read something like “Republicans Agree to Revenue Increases.”
Of course, because I’m an optimist, or, maybe, a dummy, I assumed that to mean that the GOP had finally come to their senses and realized that a large majority of Americans support modest tax increases as part of the package to cut the deficit. Again, though, if you’re like me, and thought this might be the case, you’re clearly a sucker.
