In this editorial, the author believes that the deficit reduction plan that Obama is trying to pass is fair, but fears that the republicans in the committee that has to approve it may try to keep it from being approved because of tax increases for the wealthy in it. If this happens, he thinks the democrats should try to pass what they can and let the next election be a referendum. He also believes that breaking apart the committee would be a bad idea because it would put national security at risk. He finally believes that if the democrats try to keep a deal from happening if they don't get the tax increases, it would make a lot of Americans angry at them and keep other federal programs from working well.
