the lesser of two evils

a good example of having two choices,but both of them are bad.and must be chosen anyway.this is happening now in the US between democrats and republican.democrats wanted to give tax cut only to middle class but republican wanted the tax cut be given to wealthy one also.if none of them has an agreement then the bush tax cut will expire and none of american will get tax cut and risk inhibiting the economy progress due to tax increase in this depressed time.
well I guess president obama is having a hard time now choosing which best for america's interest, ain't it?

perihal:

"the potential cost of giving in to Republican demands is high. What about the costs of letting the tax cuts expire? To be sure, letting taxes rise in a depressed economy would do damage"
