One would hope.
Of course the worse end of the scenario being that they continue with their new found windfall...

I thought the speech offered a lot of sunshine up everyone's ass, but little more. I don't know how he expects to balance the budget and not raise taxes at the same time.

My favourite line was when he asked Congress to reign in the reckless spending. Pure gold. I thought it was Colbert up there for a second...

On the topic of bi-partisanship, I think that US politicans have forgotten how to work toegether. The two party system results in one party always having a majority, and the ability to dictate policy (to some degree). There isn't the need to work with 3 or 4 parties in order to gain consensus through compromise. Instead, when compromise is needed, it materialises in supplemental pork spending to make whoever is objecting happy. Backwards logic, but that's the CYA mentality that all too many US politicans would appear to have (Bridge to Russia? give me a fucking break)
