It's beyond words, the stupidity of the GOP having passed these tax cuts with expiration dates.

While the Pubbies had control of Congress they did not have a filibuster proof Senate.

The Dems refused to allow the tax cuts to go through without the expiration date. That way they could use it for their political advantage when the expiration date came up. The Dems are very cunning political animals but they are terribly un-American.

Reagan didn't either. In fact, he didn't even have control of the House. But he got his tax cuts through without any sunset provisions, as far as I recall.

The GOP today just has no stones.

My question is why would they extend the evil Bush tax cuts. For eight years all we heard was these were for the “rich” and didn’t benefit the middle class or poor and only hurt them.

Which is is comrades?
