 Obama would have four years to put a new government in place and if he lets it happen on Jan. 1 2013, he has two years before the midterms. I think the Republicans would be motivated to reach compromises. Besides, I find it hard principally to be strongly in favor of letting the tax breaks expire and extend the life of an unwieldy, unhealthy, and misbalanced bureaucracy.
