Exactly! I thought taxes were good. In fact, it’s the only way to prosperity.
You can’t fix retarded.
And of course, with the aid of the media, the Republicans will look like crap and the Democrats will be golden because they came up with plan even though it’s what (some) Republicans have been asking for.
Thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis. Not to worry. Socialists have the solution to the socialist-induced fiasco.
We are soooooooooooo screwed!
These asshats couldn’t find their butts with two hands.
The corruption is so deep on BOTH sides of the aisle that they will never come to any agreement that will be for the good of the Republic.
It’s all about them. It’s all about getting re-elected. It’s all about taking care of your pals. Both sides are more than guilty of this.
The only chance we have is to start from the ground up, with local elections, governors especially, to get the states to flip these clowns off!
...I know, take out the umbrellas for the flying pig poop...but...it can happen—I sure as heck hope it does at any rate.
They help Obama DESTROY the country and then want to turn around and use CONSERVATIVE ideas like Bush did to restore what they destroy.
FUDems!
Do everything you can to cause the problem, blame it on the other party, and then take credit for stepping in to save the day. Gotta give it to the Dems, they’re devious and they play to win while Pubbies sit and watch in the grandstands happy to have seats near the playing field.
All of this “over the cliff” garbage is just that.
The Republicans caved in weeks ago and are waiting until the very list hour to finally make it public so that it will look like they fought almost to the death to capitulate to the enemy (Democrats).
In that way, they can say they did the best they could.
I expect the “breakthrough..(ie. “cave in”) to occur about 11 pm on the final day before the cliff is reached.
The only problem is they will add so much spending and other Freedom-squashing crap to their "tax cut" bills that the Repubs will have to either say no (and get blamed for keeping the burden upon us) or sell us down the road - any bets on how it plays out?
The problem is SPENDING. Tax cuts will increase revenue but it won't make any difference if they are blowing it out the other side.
MY STARS!!!!!!
DEMOCRATS CALLING FOR TAX CUTS!!!!
I thought I’d never see the day. And it’s all because THEY ARE PANICKING now, simply because the Republicans have, so far, held their ground.
So I say, let’s SET THE TERMS this time. If they want to vote on a tax cut in the House, then we get something out of it too.
By the way, I’ve been SCREAMING that this would happen for weeks. The Dems painted themselves in a giant hole when they convinced THEIR VOTERS that the Bush Tax Cuts ONLY benefited ‘the rich’. Now that will be BLOWN OPEN if those cuts are allowed to expire. So I say: LET THEM EXPIRE!! and then we can talk about how to solve problems.
Sometimes, doing nothing is a real cool policy.
