When Newt won Congress in 1994, I don’t recall a tax increase. What does this idiot Boner not understand? We won. Obama demands a tax increase so he wants to find a way to give it to him. Brilliant. Why didn’t Clinton think of that. They thought he “won” because Congress didn’t cut as much as it wanted to from his budget, and it didn’t CUT taxes as much as it wanted to. That is the compromise to make now, pending a new President. Let him keep some of his spending and not cut taxes as much as we would like. Or extend the Bush tax cuts for “only” 2 more years, instead of permanently, to give business some comfort level. Those are valid compromises Boner can make. Increasing taxes is not something he can make a deal on. Period.
