I'd cheer the prospect of a suddenly balanced federal budget.

The agreement wasn't terrible, though - it's a small down payment on deficit reduction, and the cuts and enforcement mechanism are somewhat real, which was not true of some earlier versions.

The train is still enroute for the cliff edge but may take another couple of years and a newly elected Republican government to reach it.

I think you should consider a change of userame - to Eeyore. There's a veritable mine of ready made quotes out there..

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."
