Senators should by now have figured out that we are not fooled, nor amused, by this sort of shallow and transparent chicanery.
The simple truth is they don’t care what we think.
Wasn’t it Coburn who said Pelosi is a nice person?
No republican will ever get my vote unless he or she is a true conservative.
Many of the senators are part of the chicanery.
I thought Obama and the dems #1 economic policy was to let the Bush tax cuts expire and raise them on the “rich” to 39.6%. Now they’re going to lower them to 29% or less? I must be missing something. There must be something else, a catch of sorts.
The dems would never be able to go after Republicans on taxes again. They’d be cutting them for the “rich” even more than Bush did. It would pretty much be going back on their entire ideology.
The Constitution only explicitly prohibits appropriations to the Army and Navy than are of a longer term than two years. (Article I, Section 8).
As I recall there are court cases that limit the ability of one congress to tie the hands of later congresses, but I don't know the details of this.
