How many times do we have to tell this buffoon that the focus needs to be upon growth?? Stop getting caught in the Dem’s trap...
This has taken the wind out of "it's all the Republican's fault" we keep getting from our whiny Princess President.
The game is just starting. Can the house and senate pass an extension quickly? I'm thinking that there's a lot of slippage between now and Nov that will keep it from passing.
GOP--LET THE CUTS EXPIRE AND LET PEOPLE GET JANUARY PAYCHECKS.
Then issue a retroactive extension. It will teach people a lot--particularly when Obama tries to stop it.
Jeeeez, I flippin give up....
Tax cuts are meaningless without spending cuts.
So what is the income for ‘rich’ folks in America now? Anyone making over $100,000 a year??
Goodbye, small businesses that make up the backbone of the American economy! You all are too RICH to save us now!
“Share the wealth” and Obamazation of ALL industries, here we come!!
The political timing from the Democrats is shady. They’re offering a some but not all offer on tax cuts, so they can divide Republicans and conservatives before midterms and make the GOP look like Republicans doesn’t want to cut taxes.
Ideally, conservatives want everyone to get tax cuts, but Dems will use that to say conservatives / GOP are holding up the bill b/c the GOP doesn’t want tax cuts...for the middle class, knowing very well that many Republicans view tax cuts from Reagan’s “trickle down” economy.
Dems know this is their last chance to pull such a stunt before new members are sworn in come January.
Well, if this tax increase goes through, the ONLY jobs that will be created for the next decade will be government jobs.
If I had 1m dollars and had to pay the government $100,000 just for having it, I sure as hell "ain't" going to spend any more to create more wealth just to give THAT away to the government too.....I'm going to sit on my money until this tyrannical government gets out of my face before I go on with business.
Ever notice how no one in the Progressive Fascist Democrat political/media machine every question how the $13.4 trillion in new spending 0 and the Democrat Congress have given us is going to be paid for?
That’s Newt’s boy! Will Newt stand by him like he did Scuzzy?
I say we issue another NY 23rd lesson to these dolts. Keep this dud out of the Speaker’s chair!
The fact that he’s even discussing anything “for the rich” means he’s on the wrong side of this discussion. We’re not marxists. We don’t play the “us vs. them” and “one side can’t gain unless the other side loses” games.
I love the way they phrase this. Either way it "costs". It is just a question of cost to whom.
We need to run republicans out of town, too. Wouldn’t it be great if we saw a tea party candidate elected speaker?
What spin and baloney,
That’s not what the man said!
He said there is no current bill language, and before he watched the economy slip further, he would consider passing what he could.
He must be a RINO who is easy to rol. Was chosen by Axelrod for a reason.
It's the freebies in exchange for a vote that are destroying us. Get rid of the "free" stuff. If these people are going to WANT, let them WANT their own jobs to get it!
Why is everyone talking about what to do to the tax payers when the real issue is what to do with the extremely expensive freeloaders! They're living a very comfortable, care free life on everyone elses dime. That's why the tax payers are broke. That's why the government is broke. The only people not broke are the freeloaders!
The bugle sound of retreat
I wish he would stop negotiating with himself.
He could at least wait until after the election to start retreating.
Maybe we can drop Boehner if we have to.
That's a big fat negative, CBO. It only "costs" you something if it is money you have earned. They haven't.....it's confiscated wealth.
Besides, what's $700 B over the next decade compared to the entitlement programs accumulated costs over the same time? I'm betting the $700 B is infinitesimal in comparison.
