Obama using people props in the background. I dispise his way of using props!
AF One is warming up on the tarmac..Hawaii,the One is on his way
Pizza lobbyists are really pressuring the Pubbies, or so I'm told.
Herman, Ed Henry’s kicking my ass.
In reality, this is the same way Congress used the SS "surplus" by spending the money and putting IOUs in the SSTF, which represents an unfunded liability and is part of the $15 trillion national debt held under "Intragovernmental Holdings."
The ‘outgo’ is equal to the ‘ingo’. New revenue is increased by the amount new spending is increased.
(Instead of other spending being decreased by the amount new spending is increased.)
Yes, the ‘SS tax’ facet of it is a scam as it has been for years.
“the same way Congress used the SS “surplus” by spending the money and putting IOUs in the SSTF, “
The hidden story of our fall.
We, the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY, are not concerned about the damned MSM’s Court of Public Opinion, or “saving face” for any politician or political party. We are concerned about saving the Nation!
Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory, Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell!!!!!!!!
Your stupid cave-in to “Bottleneck” Reid insures that small businesses will have to calculate 2/3 of a payroll tax check since payroll taxes are paid on a quarterly basis, and no Government forms now exist for that type of payment.
In other words, “Bottleneck” Reid outsmarted you AGAIN by getting you to agree to the most expensive, and most unworkable “deal” possible, and then conning you into accusing Boehner of a financial mess that YOU helped create.
Do you Mitch, even recognize that you are so gullible, that you need to get out of politics NOW, and get a real job? Maybe selling used cars?
Because you have now joined Senator Reid’s Socialist-Democrat Party, do you feel proud of the fact that you have sabotaged your former Republicans in the House of Representatives? From now on we should refer to you as “Turncoat” Mitch McConnell, the sorry Senator from Tennessee who can always be counted on to betray his former Republicans.
Since you, Mitch, refuse to accept responsibility for your destructive actions, it would be best if you would immediately resign as Minority Leader of the US Senate.
BTW, when you call upon a Republican to “give in,” we see you for the Socialist-Democrat coward that you really are.
Tax cuts that are spent on consumption do not, relatively, produce as much growth as tax cuts used for saving and investment do.
This is welfare, plain and simple.
“How about we pay for a two month extension with a cut to a bureau or agency instead of screwing the people!”
The dems will never ever ever allow for real cuts. It would be suicide for them. If a real cut happened everyone would see that the world did not end and thus we could try more real cuts. Nope never going to happen.
That will go as well as the supercommittee on the deficit.
Oh, I know that. It always amazes me that so many repubicans in the senate don’t stand up and say, “are you insane?? We’re not funding anything with any new fees or taxes” But they just roll over so there can be a bipartisan compromise. They love bipartisanship, but only in the direction of slavery, never liberty.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't a few Dems in the House vote for the 1 year bill? Why is the Senate bill the only bi-partisan one?
(purely rhetorical question mind you - I do understand that the Dems and LSM have taken the idea of "living history" to its greatest extreme - they not only seek to revise what happened in the past, they revise it WHILE it's happening!)
“If nothing else House Republicans should a demand a fix to the part of the bill that causes the tax collection problems in two months or they will be helping Obama lay yet ANOTHER trap for themselves. “
In essence the Republicans do not have the leadership and PR skills to fight Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Given the propensity to cave on critical issues, the election of a Republican House in 2010 is not really putting the brakes on the Obama socialist agenda. Nor are the House Republicans capable of using the Constitutional powers specific to the House to slow the rate of spending. Unfortunately Boehner has even agreed to keep Obamacare and its implementation cost off the table in negotiating spending. One has to ask if the election of a Republican Senate in 2012 will matter, particularly with McConnell in charge.
Not only have they not reversed Obama’s policies(they only have control of one house after all), but more importantly they have not helped make Obama and his policies MORE unpopular so they can be reversed in the future next year or after the election. They (Republicans in congress) just allowed Obama to transfer blame for the economy (in voters eyes) from Bush to them (Republicans) with himself briefly getting some of the blame last year. And with this Obama can resume calling for 'A tax increase on the rich to pay for an extension of the middle class tax cut' in two months again.
In conclusion they got partial power with no effective plan for using it. Surprised?? I am not but I am very unhappy about it.
If Boehner is as smart/astute as he should be he will publicize any such give-in very widely to expose any probable Democrat flip-flopping.
