Dems think Rs are going to be nice to them since Ds caved on deficit

Politico's Playbook:

A Senate Democratic official tells Playbook: “There is nothing stimulative or jobs-based in this final deal that got struck. That’s unfortunate, but it also gives us an opening in September that we can say, ‘We’ve met you halfway and passed a huge, historic debt-reduction measure. Now it’s time to do something for jobs. The administration has been saying for weeks, ‘Once we get off this debt-ceiling thing, we’ll be able to get back to jobs.’ In the last 24 to 48 hours, one of their selling points of this deal has been that it resolves this thing so we can get back to jobs.

Yes, I'm sure the Republicans will let you have things your way once you whine that you've "met them halfway." That's usually the way extortionists work. Not to mention, the Republicans want the White House and the Senate next November 2012.  What possible reason could they have for letting Democrats improve the economy between now and then?
