Where were (and are) the budget conscious and deficit cutting Republicans on this one?

Wow, what an eyeopener...

John Boehner tried to upstage Obamacare by unsuccessfully signing up for it while finding that he actually had successfully signed up for it and got a pretty good deal to boot!

His stunt backfired and now it's all over the news, except on Rush, Hannity ,O'Reilly, Fox, Townhall, Breibert, etc etc...

Of course there's a financial outcome. However, we're ultimately dealing with a theocracy and not a stable, legitimate government.
Militarily speaking, if Israel hits them it will not be the same as when they took out the Iraqi nuclear facility. It would have to be a MASSIVE full scale military assault. Not only would Iranian nuke site be obliterated but their airfields, anti-aircraft missile sites and their revolutionary guard would be targeted for destruction. Their ships at sea would be sunk by Israeli subs. I'm guessing upwards of about 700 planes would take part in wave after wave. It would make Pear Harbor look like a barbecue. Why do you think Israel now has an agreement with Saudi Arabia for air-sea rescue operations?
Moreover, Lebanon would be hit from the air and subsequently invaded to eliminate a retaliatory from the Hezzbollah who would be firing thousands of Iranian missiles at Israel in response to an Israeli attack on Iran. Hospitals and schools in Lebanon would have to be hit as well because that's where the ticks are dug in. It's another Islamic plague on the planet waiting to happen...

The Iranian deal? Illusion or not?

Can we "trust but verify"?
The middle east countries, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are furious over the deal.
IMO: Have we not learned anything from history? Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive. I can't see Iran doing a 180 degree turn from its goal to make a nuke. They answer to Allah and not us...

Well, at least some corporate welfare for big oil will be curtailed. It's about time...
