AND, I just heard on Fox News that the Bush Tax Cuts are allowed to expire at the end of 2012.
ugh
The GOP House had better not give up extending those!
They were set to expire anyway. This will be Obozo’s whole campaign, Economy sucks because Bush’s fault. “Vote for the Republican and get more tax breaks for the rich to further weaken our economy and redo the policies that got us here and give the dangerous tea party extremists control of the government so they can throw granny off a cliff and starve the children so that big oil can keep their tax breaks, or vote for me (the One) and we will really soak it to the rich this time”. Unfortunately will an FBI investigation hanging over Murdock’s head and a muzzle around his networks mouth, and an otherwise corrupt media, this strategy is likely to work.
So, primaries will begin before the new ceiling is hit and November National and President election before Bush cuts expire. Good for campaigns next year. ( on both sides)
“AND, I just heard on Fox News that the Bush Tax Cuts are allowed to expire at the end of 2012.”
The Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, there are basically no real short-term cuts, phony cuts are spread over ten years (with the possibility of defense cuts hindering our national security in the middle of three wars), and a watered-down BBA.
And we still get downgraded.
Heckuva deal.
