No, this will lead to disaster. The final deal will show this plan B to be a brilliant strategy,
When you line up with Obama and Pelosi against a tax cut bill the warning bells SHOULD go off.
Exactly. I don’t support or align with Pelosi and Obama on raising taxes on job creators.
This was a tax raising bill.
Now, you could be right and probably are correct that this will cause the gop-e to wither and accept a worse deal than this bad deal later on. Either way, it’s a sellout of our core principles.
You think this deal could have saved the party. I have a different take: so long as the gop-e sacrifices our core principles, we are ready lost, no matter where the final price point lies. Whether we cave here or at a worse place later is mere semantics for both the party and the long term outlook for the nation.
The only way to move forward is by sticking to what we know works and raising taxes on job creators in a recession/depression ain’t it.
The final deal might indeed be worse. I’ll take any spine from the GOP where I can find it. I’m pleased.
