RE :”Fifty percent of those making over $250,000 a year are small business owners. This means the economy would stall even more and the unemployment rate would go higher. Just like the Obama Administration did not think the stimulus spending would fail, they do not believe that raising taxes on the job creators will backfire and negatively affect the economy. Rather than sending this economy into a full scale depression if tax rates go up for everybody, I say let Obama win one! We would only have to endure these failed policies and this economic insanity for another two years. Some businesses will not be able to survive because they are barely surviving today. But many businesses would find a way to hold on until we make a change in control of the Senate and the White House. “

I understand his point. This is exactly what Obama doesnt want to happen, those taxes go up and he get the blame again. What Obama wants is to pass all the tax cuts then say Republicans blackmailed him. Then when the economy doesnt get better, and the the debt climbs, he is not the sole owner of the mess. He knows what killed Rats in 2010 was being the owner of the economy. In short, Obama wants to let Republicans win this one and cry victim.

Letting the other guy ‘win’ is tricky business, like throwing a fight. You lose if it is known that you threw it. Congressional Democrats are already proposing upping the limit to 1 Million to make it look better politically to raise some taxes(voters will be much less sympathetic to 'millionares').

the author is writing under the illusion that bambam isnt actively and enemy of the USA...everything it does is geared towards bankruptiing and creating physical vulnerabilities to this country, while at the same time striving to skim funds to the tune of a cool trillion for his oreoness...

unless the muzzcomm has created the 'perfect' forgeries of all its docs, i doubt there was ever a plan for an 012' run, so everything done, everyday, is based on crippling its 'enemy' and enrichin itself for the future globull economy ...

if the new CONgress doesnt start playin hardball on day one, the sand will quickly run thru the glass...

We won.

As Rush said last week “ Losers compromise, not winners”

But Republicans have a horrible track record. Think Lucy, Charlie Brown, and a football.
