- Revisit the American Jobs Act and have House and Senate go back and forth to reach a version that works for both parties. Tax credits for new hires and pay raises are especially important.

- Corporate tax rate at 28% is not a bad deal.

- Cut wasteful spending. This article is a good start Federal workers tell us what should be cut from the budget - The Washington Post

House Republicans should use any good will generated in negotiations to limit the reach of organizations like the EPA. I would hope they would agree to cuts in military spending but GOP would rather raise taxes before cutting defense.

Either way its vital that the two parties work together. Hopefully getting a few tea party candidates out of the way will help.

Tea Party was a HUGE loser yesterday.
