... have to pass the House and Senate and be signed into law, or they don’t happen.

Boehner is able to claim no tax hikes are possible because the committee would work off the assumption that the Bush tax cuts — all of them — will expire in 2013. Combined with other expiring provisions, that adds up to $3.5 trillion in tax hikes over the next decade, without the committee taking any action

“Add in the AMT Fix to The Bush Tax Cuts expiring!”

That additional ‘$3.5T in tax hikes’ assumes that there will be growth. News Flash, as long as they continue ‘central planning’ there will be no growth!!

“(A GiftHorse GoP & O’s >2T ‘gifts’)”

Somebody’s gotta say it...

Alas, she’s not a leader. She’s like Ron Paul, putting out ‘principled stands’ without rolling up her sleeves and actually getting stuff done. There are several bills she could be pushing. She also could have been on board Cut, Cap and Balance, but declined as it didnt kill Obamacare.

We dislike the garbage that is done, but the skill of getting things done is underrated.
