Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says the premise that cutting taxes will result in greater economic growth is “a Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale”.

Schumer may have slept through the 1980s, but the rest of us didn’t.

That's very true! But I'll bet they'll spend every minute of every day between now and election 2014 blaming the GOP Controlled House for anything bad that happens in the USA.

Question is, how well will the GOP House fight back those false accusations.

I am stunned how many people/pundits in the middle to the right, believe Obama and the Rats want to work out a deal and avoid sequester. I guess they were not happy enough being wrong about the election.

They way I see it, Obama set himself up perfectly to get everything he wants without doing anything

1.) Obama Care starts unabated in January. Besides a few states that will not set up exchanges and not funds for federal exchanges, Obama has to do nothing to implement healthcare.

2.) He also needs to due nothing to raise taxes on the rich. Taxes on the rich go up next year- nothing can stop that. If he can't reach a deal he wants, he gets the added benefit of raising taxes on the middle class and blaming the GOP.

3.) Defense spending gets cut and America is weaker. Just what he wants.

All of this above he campaigned on. Why would he go back on his word.

Exactly. It amazes me how few poeple realize that Obama wants the economy to tank. Period.

That and so much more.

So give the greasy motherf*&%^r all the new taxes he wants. And wait for the explosion of new economic growth.

I'm so sick of these lying bottom feeders. No more arguing with them - I want them to get everything they want.

I'm convinced they'll shrivel up and die once they have no one left to blame for the miserable results of their own socialist policies.

Most that I know can’t accept the idea that 0bama has mal-intent.

That’s because his supporters wrap their own self righteousness in the righteousness of the Statists that they support.

If the pols are bad guys, then the sheeperals are bad guys, too.
And they can’t accept that.

upChuck already knows what is going to happen and he does not care. He has his and you can go f yourself. Simple as that. The disgust I have for these kinds of people is not fit for description on this forum.
