Vote: Are You Satisfied with the Debt Deal?

Following months of political posturing, a deal between Republican and Democratic leaders has been reached in Congress. The proposed plan will raise the debt ceiling, allowing the United States to go further into debt. However, with it comes cuts in the hundreds of billions to trillions.

Most Democrats seem displeased with the deal, complaining that an increase in "revenue" should have been addressed. Many Republicans are pleased that taxes will not be raised, but are upset that the cuts do not go deeper and that a Constitutional amendment to balance the budget has been separated from the bill itself. Further, many Tea Party Republicans believe that the debt ceiling shouldn't be raised at all.

Still, President Obama is heralding the deal as satisfactory. Speaker of the House John Boehner called the bill imperfect, but said that Republicans got "98%" of what they were after. So the question is: what do you think? Are you satisfied or do you want more? Vote below:
