<a href="#comment-78534" rel="nofollow">@62across</a>, Not at all - as terrible as the Republicans would be with control of both elected branches, and as completely unserious as they are with control of just one elected branch, at least that unseriousness will be a powerful counterweight to Obama, who will in turn be a powerful counterweight to them.  Maybe, just maybe, Obama will even try to embarass them by offering meaningful cuts to defense and then making them hem and haw about how whaling history subsidies are all we
need to cut to balance the budget.  Maybe he gets his party to go along with this as a useful political cudgel, and maybe just enough of the handful of GOPers who actually are serious about the debt sign on to get them passed. Well, I can dream, can't I?
