The trenches in this ideological warfare are so deep that you need high ladders to get a look outside. If they cannot even agree to save 1.2 billion OVER TEN YEARS, then you know what to expect of future fiscal policy in the US.
Additional to the classical ideological differences and the battle between rich and poor, a new battleline makes itself felt more and more: that between old and young people. I predict this battle over distribution of money will surpass any other former fight - in dimension, in complexity, and simultaneity of multiple fronts opening.
