They realize it. Problem is they didn’t expect 2010 to happen. Now that is did and the Republicans control congress, they cannot figure out how to let the Bush tax cuts expire and only have the expire for those making more than 200k.
Obama has to give something up and he doesn’t want to. And there is n way for the media to spin this. It is the time for the Republicans to tell Obama if he wants his tax increase, Obamacare as we know it is dead.
How will the tax increase kill Obamacare as we know it? (Sorry, I’m a blonde and can’t see how that would change anything!)
