Just go back to the 26 weeks that are in the unemployment law and never give any extentions!
The estate tax break, which will cost $68 billion in lost tax revenue, has little economic impact because it mostly affects the already affluent, who are less likely to spend their tax savings.
Why doesn’t someone challenge the Estate Tax as Unconstitutional?
Well said.
Yep, just one more misktake on the part of the Pubbies....Can we find a group that is any more stupid than those in Congress?
And the art of politics will never be understood or mastered by Kamikaze Conservatives. They will be forever on the loosing side of their ‘issues’ because they would rather be right than affective.
Yes, Kamikaze Conservatives.
Eggsactly!
The ‘Progressives’ lost the argument! Apparently, what’s been going on the past ten years, that which they claim got us in this mess, is good enough to continue!
ROTFLMAO!
It’s difficult sometimes to understand the mindset of some folks here on FR. Despite the demrats hanging a bunch of earmarks and such on the bill; and their failure to eliminate estate taxes, this bill is a win-win for conservatives.
Demrats passage of this bill demolishes their tedious and oft repeated tenets of (1) Bush tax cuts were only for the rich and (2) tax cuts either caused the recession or tax increases will spur the economy.
Also, apparantly these naysayers don’t quite get the fact that the Tea Party candidates have not yet been seated.
I suspect these people are arrogant libertarians and/or trolls.
aside from John Roberts, Bush is a mini Obama on nearly every issue.
If the media were objective, the headlines would be saying, “Stimulus fails, tax cuts necessary to save economy”.
A few years ago Social Security was a major crisis. What happened? Don’t really hear about it anymore. Whatever happened to Algore’s lockbox?? Hee Hee.

Perhaps you can explain why this is a good deal.it let Obama off the mat, we cave on unemployment, is the full of pork and subsidies,it is only temporary, it allowed a vote on don’t ask don’t tell, the ratification of the start treaty, and potential passage of the dream act. principle is one thing but the politics says Obama and Reid slaughtered us over this deal.
Why are they called “Bush tax cuts” and not the repeal of “Clinton tax increases?”
(See also repeal of “Clinton DADT.”
There are no tax cuts.
Dale, I personally think we (both Republicans, and Conservatives) did pretty good. Remember, we are presently in a near-completely-Democrat Congress and Senate, and we actually preserves GW’s tax breaks. Not bad, considering. Yes, I know, the UI is crap, and it is non-PAYGO-compliant, and these are valid concerns. But considering the lay of the land, I rack this a WIN.
Correct.

Incorrect. People who are wrong are not necessarily trolls.
