First of all, the debt cliff agreement was more taxcuts than tax increases.

Nonetheless, John Boehner is saying that there will be no more tax "increases". Does that mean there will be no more spending cuts either? How can anyone negotiate with people that think like this bunch of Republicans? The basic fact is that we need more revenues. One way to get them is to close the loopholes that favor billionaires and millionaires like Mitt Romney. There should be no negotiations. They should do their job and close them. There should be no trade-offs.
