Apologies for the rant - I’m ticked this a.m. and had to get it out. Thanks for reading - or just skip over my post below.
“Once the actual talks get underway, President Obama will insist that tax hikes be part of the solution.”
“The president has insisted that in the budget negotiations that he’s been calling for all year, everything has to be on the table. And that will be his position going forward,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Wednesday. …
First, the top earners got a tax hike last January (IIRC it was those making more than $400k).
Second, while I avoid listening to Obummer as much as possible, I do read FR and other online news and watch FNC, so hear/read at least some of what he has to say. Did I somehow miss that “the _resident has been calling for budget negotiations all year”, or did I just forget? Were tax hikes included in the ridiculous budget that he FINALLY sent to Congress and no one discussed them because his budget was so far fetched?
That’s right Obummer, put tax hikes on Americans that now see their health insurance costs go through the roof, losing jobs and/or having their hours cut because of YOUR socialzed medicine plan; and, companies moving offices and manufacturing overseas because the corporate tax rate is as high or higher here than anywhere in the world. Oh, and then let us pay tax credits and various benefits to the illegal aliens you want to grant amnesty to.

Barry insists, refuses to negotiate, Gop-e caves, rinse and repeat.
