Breaking: Senate Approves Tax Deal

Does this show you how well the Republicans listened to us voters? The Senate just voted to approve the tax deal that leaves the current tax brackets in place and lets the Democrats spend a lot of money on other things important to them. The vote wasn't even remotely close. They approved it by a vote of 81-19.

So the Republicans apparently don't mind spending our way to bankruptcy, either, as long as they get something from doing it.

Wonderful.

UPDATE:
Here is the list of Senators that voted AGAINST the tax deal:
Sanders I-VT, Sessions R-AL, Udall D-CO, Udall D-NM, Voinovich R-OH, Wyden D-OR, Feingold D-WI, Gillibrand D-NY, Hagan D-NC, Lautenberg D-NJ, Leahy D-VT, Levin D-MI, Merkley D-OR, Bingaman D-NM, Coburn R-OK, DeMint R-SC, Dorgan D-ND, and Ensign R-NV.
