I think it’s that the
EXTENSION
of the Bush tax cuts represents a loss to the govt — Something like $5 trillion — and for which this ‘loss’ must be then treated with added taxes indeed.

TERM LIMITS for ALL OF ‘EM !!!
They should all just stop racing around trying to do anything....no matter what it is and just stay with the CCB bill that was passed.....forget B1-2-? and concentrate on a prioritizing spending bill that actually does something instead of trying to please the Senate or Pres.....Do What Is Right For The Country and Forget everyone else!!!
And tell the Senate to deal with it!
