There is an interesting editorial in this morning's Star Ledger (Newark, NJ) pointing to a silver lining about the debt deal. The editorial talks about how the NJ political scene was in gridlock until Steve Sweeney (Democratic NJ senate majority leader) broke ranks with his party and allowed major legislation to pass with bipartisan support, despite opposition by over half of his party. Since Sweeney did that, the extremists on both sides have been marginalized and the moderate Republicans (led by Chris Christie) are actually getting things done up here.
Hopefully, Romney's latest move will enable the moderate Dems and the moderate Reps to work together and get things done. It is noteworthy that there were significant "nay" votes on this deal from both sides. In my book, any deal that angers both the left and the right is worthy of consideration.
