Obama should take this deal because it is a complete capitulation. Tax us $800 billion first, cut $1.4 trillion never.

Obama’s strategy is to let the Bush Tax Cuts lapse. Any plan is DOA.

‘Obama should take this deal because it is a complete capitulation. Tax us $800 billion first, cut $1.4 trillion never.’
Since the Republicans flopped at $800 billion in tax increases, Mr. Obama should be able to squeeze out another $500 in tax increases with no trouble.
And you are correct, the Phantom Spending Cuts of the Future will never come. The same Socialist Rope a Dope Game Plan and the Republicans will lose what little credibility and base that they have left.
