Do you really think those Bush tax cuts would have stayed anyways unless we get a conservative Pres and a strong Senate?
We know they would be cut...so don’t say that is part of this “no taxes’ deal. If we had taxes now on this deal, we would still be increasing taxes even more! We staved off taxes so far, then its up to the election to make sure the Bush cuts stay.
The factoring of the Bush tax cut sunset was CBO`s work when the numbers were crunched, not my assumption.
