OK, smart guy; here's your chance to shine: Let's hear your Big Plan...
I appreciate you asking :)
Stop negotiating, and no passing tax increase bills in house
Pass the partial extension <$250K and send to Senate, if you like include another bill extending >$250K with it.
Get on TV and let voters know you (House Rs) saved (middle class) voters from a tax increase
Declare on TV the Obama crisis is over
Then daily Beg Obama (show for voters) ON TV to NOT raise taxes on job creators, tell voters you did everything your power to stop him from doing it and why it will be bad for this country. Dont worry, Voters will automatically give Obama credit for raising those taxes even though they are automatic, he cant get out of that if the economy slows.
Let everything else go over the cliff. No restored spending, no stimulus, no nothing (the debt limit will be another tough fight I wont get into here) .
You made your tax bed Dems. Blame every problem for the next 4 years on those Obama tax increases
Thanks again :)
