I think they stopped the tax increase for like a couple of months or something? Idk, money money money. Still nothing on the debt we owe.

A deal did get made. This is an OK article about some of the effects.

All they did was put off the automatic cuts for a couple months. We are going to be dealing with the same thing then.
It is irritating that they he would lift the pay increase freeze for congress at a time like this.
