Sorry boys. America went over the “cliff” a long time ago. We’re 16 trillion in debt headed for 20 trillion.

Even this tax hike will cost 700,000 jobs, and it barely scratches the surface of the problem.

Nope. That is 58 TRILLION Dollars of total National Debt, not the short term 16 TRILLION Dollar barrowing smokescreen.

GOP didn’t get enough capital in election, so a compromise is no bad.

Only in the minds of sick media/politicians could you stave off tax hikes by raising taxes.
To: KittenClaws
So, do our votes count or not?
Not?
And what do we do?
You know it is our vote that keeps these SOB’s in power right?
When do we understand that it is no longer about the vote?

Barry whines a lot about the mess he “inherited”. Imagine the mess the slob who runs in 2016 is going to “inherit” from Barry. I can’t see how anybody in their right mind would want to run for POTUS in 2016. They’d have to be nuts.

The only ‘CLIFF’ here is the one our government will go over if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. It is the one trump card the Republicans hold, and they could get anything they want for it. But sadly, Boehner has already announced in advance that he will fold on that one as well.

When too many Republicans stand up to oppose O (and Boner before him) on cutting our taxes while claiming they opposed tax increases its over.

I hope the GOP will understand if I don’t say thank you.
