Good - let the clock tick. An inactive congress cannot steal nor can it take away our rights. Nor can it enact socialist agendas.

Of course and inactive Congress can steal from us, if they have put a tax rate increase time bomb in the federal code. So by not acting they will raise taxes and risk a double dip recession.

“Dems refuse to let it come to a vote in Senate.” ... did you mean the House?

House Democrats defy Obama on tax cut bill
By: CNN’s Dana Bash and Deirdre Walsh

(CNN) - Defying President Obama, House Democrats voted Thursday not to bring up the tax package that he negotiated with Republicans in its current form.
“This message today is very simple: That in the form that it was negotiated, it is not acceptable to the House Democratic caucus. It’s as simple as that,” said Democratic Congressman Chris Van Hollen.

Come Jan 1st the largest voting demographic the 15% tax bracket will take it in the backside when that rate skyrockets to 28%. At least that is my take.

Obama and a slew of vulnerable 2012 Dems will pay the price if taxes go up.

Voters will be vindicated for kicking them to the curb and will be looking for more to add to the heap.

Works for me.

The Dems are just plain stupid.

And the GOP is dumber. They will find a way to screw up this fumble by the DIMS. I would create a new bill which will actually CUT taxes and tell them to sign-on or die.

The partisan part of me applauds the Democrats decision and encourages them to continue pissing into the wind.

January’s “State of the Union” address should be pretty interesting.

Obamacare unfunded
Tax increases for everyone
High oil and food prices

he’s got some ‘splainin’ to do (aka, blame the Republicans)

The Dems figure this compromise is a political loser for them. If nothing gets done, they’ll blame the Republicans.

“Shut the government down completely.”

Words that warm my heart. De-fund the whole mess.
