A question will all those who claimed that this tax cut bill was raising taxes be surprised when our taxes go up as a result of its defeat?
Any of them?
Did any of them believe what they were posting?

Huh...
Okay, now what?
Reid passes a bill through the senate to preserve the Bush tax cuts for $250k and below, and then dares the House to reject it? Is it too much to presume that Boehner would be as smart as Reid and simply never bring such a bill to the floor of the House?
To: sickoflibs
A question will all those who claimed that this tax cut bill was raising taxesYour premise is inaccurate. It wasn't a tax cut bill, it was a bill to keep taxes where they are.
To: kristinn
If we already passed bills to cut spending and taxes, how is this bad?
From what I heard on Fox just now they couldn’t pass “plan b” because the reps would not go against their vow not to raise taxes.
What am I missing?

No matter what Boehner and the Republicans do, they will get all the blame for the damage to this economy and the markets from going off the cliff. Not even the slightest criticism will disturb the individual in the White House or his party.
These are dark times. Orwell would be in awe at the manipulation of reality here.

it was a bill to keep taxes where they are. Thanks for clarifying, it's too easy to get caught up in their double speak and get off message.

Absolutely. Boehner painted the GOP into a corner last year by caving on the debt limit. The sequestration was a satanic plan that should never have seen the light of day.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
