He’s actually right. The Bush tax relief sunset was factored into the figures in this bill. If they’re not renewed, the taxes will markedly increase. If they are renewed, then — by CBO’s calculations — that will create a $5T hole that will need to be filled. And (correct me if I’m wrong here) if the Gang of 12 doesn’t agree on a budget-cutting remedy, tax hikes will occur as a result of a “trigger.”
Wow... some victory for the Tea Party.
Thanks, Republican “leadership.” Get bent, the lot of you.

Obama really rolled Republicans: tax increases or cuts in defense. Nice choice.

There are no automatic taxes increases. That is just their smoke and mirrors calculation.

I have no words. None. I have plenty, but none said that will keep me from getting a timeout here on FR.

It’s a tossup between Reid, Pelosi and Obama but Reid often leads the others as the scum I hate the most.
He drips with corruption...

Why do they assume tax increases will result in higher revenue?

Maybe you should look closer and learn about this bill...
all you need is for the committee NOT to agree- and the left wins BIG!
