Inaction w/ Threats

Although there seems to be a lot of strutting around and talking big coming from Washington about what side "will do" regarding the deficit cap, I'd be seriously surprise if anything but the usual pandering went on.  I'd be downright shocked if we went to the wall on the issue, refused to raise the limit without REAL budget cuts (not just spending drawbacks) but there is a mood of apathy in the air.  The GOP does just what is necessary to avoid any real leadership, the White House presents no leadership, and us Tea Partiers are left fuming over all the inaction.
