I thought so too. He probably entered through the screen door.

Do you know if that continuing resolution contains the open-ended (UNCONSTITUTIONAL) "transfer authority?"

If you find out, I'd appreciate a ping.

They think they’re so wily and stealthy, but they never fail to out themselves before long, because too much common conservative sense makes it all just spew out. Plus posting it on their moonbat dens isn’t exactly private from lurkers, hehe.

“Everybody in this country hates his guts now.”

For the people that care - yes. Unfortunately there are a LOT of people that don’t care. And he may fool ‘em into voting for him again. I hope and pray (way different from hope and change) that we’ve turned a corner in this nation, and will start to use considered wisdom. It is a good sign that more and more people are waking up to realize that bammy is the emporer with no clothes on (and has no hope and (good) change.)

‘The battle lines are drawing with both parties - ARE WE READY?’

“You realize we’re talking about the Stupid Party here, right?”

I may not have made myself clear - the battle lines, for instance of the Tea Parties, are being drawn *against* both parties...hence, are we ready? Yes, part of our battle is with the entrenched GOP.

AMEN to the II Chr. 7:14

GOOOH is leading the way with the PROCESS to bring all the grass roots patriots groups together and produce a conseses candidate to go up against BOTH the “D” and the “R” !

We are NOT a 3rd party but rather we are a PROCESS that encourages every patriot to offer to go server in the U.S. House of Representatives for 2 or 4 years at the most. A selection process that takes place in each of the 435 congressional districts will determine who in each district will represent the PEOPLE of their district and will not be controlled by ANYone or any group.. but will only be expected to vote the way they SAID they would vote during the selection process... check us out on the web ! We are just under 10,000 hits away from 2 MILLION ! and we are just getting started !

What did the GOP compromise?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

This is not a "tax cut" its a tax rate cut , people will just get smaller returns than usual, and less will be with held by the IRS. The tax itsef remains the same. HOw foolish is that? Simply put, we get less witholding for two years and owe the same amount we would otherwise pay each year. We have been had royally.

The problem with this tax plan is that it does nothing to bring permanent jobs back into the market place.

It should have been a real tax CUT ( for 5 years), not just a tax rate cut. Few know the difference it seems.
IMHO the Republicans in the Senate should be ashamed of themselves.

That’s not how it works. The programs that fund up to 99 weeks of unemployemnt compensation are being extended for 13 months.

There is still a limit of 99 weeks total compensation.

Will do. I can’t find anything that discusses that aspect beyond the two articles quoted in that thread from last Friday. I keep searching.

I suspect the media isn’t going to be forthcoming about it. I’ll let you know if I see anything as well.

The whole thing is BS; Obama won this as he’ll take credit because our side it just stupid and couldn’t get more than 2 yrs. These Dems, I think, are putting on a show. Granted there are idiot Dem minions and “fans” who are the anarchists, hard leftie/commies who are angry, but they’ll smoke their dope and feel better.

How can businesses plan more than 2 yrs down the road???

Thanks, I appreciate that. What I did find is this Hill Article that says "Obey released a final draft of the CR at 12:30 am. Democrats plan to send the CR to the Senate where they will attempt to amend it into an omnibus appropriations bill that has been crafted by Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii)." I could not find the text of this CR draft online anywhere yet.

Other articles have said this this omnibus senate bill is loaded with all kinds of crap like the food control bill, finreg funding, etc.

I simply passed on what an accountant reported to Rush Limbaugh:

IT US NOT A TAX CUT.ITS AN EXTENSION with a witholding rate reduction. THERE SHOULD BE A 5 year CUT to get jobs created.The only job creation will be in government while the rest of the economy goes to hell.

*********************************

CALLER: Well, going into the 2012 elections, I believe, you know, they didn’t reduce the tax rate for those individuals but they reduced the withholding.

RUSH: For one year.

CALLER: The 2012 tax refunds will be a lot lower, and I know many people — dozens and dozens of people — that rely on that is almost like an April, early-year bonus, and if the —

RUSH: Wait a minute. I want to make sure I understand this. You don’t like the one-year payroll reduction because it’s gonna lead to smaller tax refunds?

CALLER: Well, it’s not the payroll reduction. In my opinion it should be a payroll... It should be a tax reduction, not a payroll withholding reduction because I think what’s gonna happen is if you withhold less taxes in 2011, the same amount of tax is gonna be due when they file their tax returns for 2011 in early 2012. So the tax refunds for all these folks are gonna be much lower, and I believe if the Democrats can tie the lower tax refunds to the Republicans are gonna get a huge victory in the 2012 elections if they can link the Republicans to the middle class, getting lower refunds —

RUSH: Wait a minute, I’m confused.

CALLER: — from this whole tax plan.

RUSH: You’re confusing me now.

CALLER: Okay.

RUSH: You’re opposed to the deal, yet you say the Republicans are gonna get a huge victory. Are you a Democrat?

CALLER: No. Democrats are gonna get victory, I believe. If you lower withholdings but you don’t lower the taxes, then when people do their tax returns in 2012, they’re not gonna get the same tax refund that they’ve typically gotten. The people depend on that $3,000 refund or the $5,000 refund and, if it’s not that same level, I think the Democrats are gonna be able to blame the Republicans because of this whole tax plan.

RUSH: Oh. People are gonna perceive —

CALLER: In the 2012 election they can say, “Republicans argue to extend tax breaks for the wealthier.”

RUSH: I will admit I hadn’t factored in the income tax refund angle of this. I gotta say, I hadn’t factored that in and how that could benefit the Democrats because people’s refunds will be smaller and they’ll blame Republicans for a tax increase. I hadn’t factored that in. But that’s what we’re doing here, folks. We’re getting people’s opinions on all of this before I weigh in and tell you what the truth is.
