Reid signaled that Democrats would likely vote against a wholesale extension of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts signed by President George W. Bush

Same old Harry (the war is lost) Reid, he wants the GOP to work with the Dems as long as they do it his way.

The “Republicans” don’t really even have a simple Majority; Collins, Snowe, and Pansy Graham are on the other side on key issues. Then there’s other turn-coats who sell-out, such as McClame. Republicans will be hard-pressed to get 60 votes until 2012, AND, the damage has already been done at the USSC with Kagan and Sotomayer.....

The majority of the American population just said:

THANK YOU REPUBLICANS FOR BLOCKING THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA

I certainly hope the republicans are not too stupid to see that, and continue to block it.

If Issa can’t see that then make him pencil fetcher.

The constitutents who voted the new guys in want and expect no compromise on the principles for which the stand, and on the issues that motivated their vote. That means government that operates within its Constitutional limits, spends no more than it takes in, and only taxes at a level necessary to fund its legitimate functions. On those issues no compromise is acceptable. None at all.

>>Specifically, Schumer said the 112th Congress will “focus on the middle class like a laser,”

Then the first order of business is to pass a law defining exactly what “middle class” means. When the gubmint is promising stuff for the middle class, they mean anyone making less than $250k/yr—even millionaire retirees. When they are actually “helping” the middle class, they seem to only include people that are just barely above the poverty line.

I’m really tired of this “we help the middle class” crap from both parties that never seem to do much for the folks that work hard and actually have a little bit to show for it after the bills are paid. That includes the small business owner and the person that works for a paycheck.

Pointedly, however, Reid signaled that Democrats would likely vote against a wholesale extension of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts signed by President George W. Bush, which expire at the end of the year. Democrats would agree to extending the cuts for middle-class families, Reid said, but allowing them for wealthy Americans “is not going to happen” because it would cost $4 trillion.

An outright lie.

The 10-year "loss of revenue" (it's not a "cost") for renewing all of the "Bush tax cuts" is $3.7 trillion. We could round that up to $4 trillion.

However, not extending those tax cuts for "the rich" (which is apparently singles making more than $200K per year, and families making more than $250K/year) would only reduce the "loss of revenue" to $3 trillion.

That means that the "the rich" only account for about $700 billion of that loss in revenue. Percentage-wise, it's about 19% of the total -- while the same "rich" pay about 28% of individual income taxes. So, they really aren't getting their "share" anyway.

What doesn't he understand about a MAJOR loss for Democrats? These people still don't realize they were run over by a large truck last night.

Also, it's time for Bohner to look Obama in the eye and say ... I appreciate your point of view, we've seen plenty of it. But that's not what the American people want, and that's not the way we are going to do it. AND he should raise his voice. It is going to take some YELLING to get through Obama's ideology which he thinks makes him walk on the water. Time to give him some verbal SHOVEDS ... I wonder if John can do that?

Well, the House is certainly going to be a bigger issue than RINOs in the senate.

Right back at ya dirty slimeball harry. If there is something that the people agree with, then the Republicans can work together. If the public does not agree, then the Republicans must stop the legislation any way possible.

Gridlock is better than going off the cliff.

Hey, Harry. Don’t talk to much! Your neck twaddle flaps in the breeze and it really, really makes you look like a skinny chicken.

Senate Democrats will not be able to take shell spending bills from the House and gut them via amendment like they did before.

It's the Senate Democrats who will have to work with House Republicans from now on.
