If they wimp out and increase the taxes and it looks like from this article some are trying to say they are for that..then when the nation fails, it will be their fault. People will not want to grow their companies if the tax rate is so high, profits are not there, to endure long term stability. The economy should be saved but not like this. If they do this, the party will be punished again. They will not cut spending they always tie it back into bills. They are doing smoke and mirrors. Obama and Speaker probably already made a deal. Lord, why do they even consider raising taxes-look how they lied about the bailouts. We have no one to trust/count on it seems.
Curious how OBozo claims he now can do all he would desire. Based on less than 1% edge in votes that he claims give him the win. Especially curious considering that is about the margin of fraud we know exists. Someone may want to remind OBozo, if there is someone close to him that does actually care about him, that dictators dying of natural causes like Fidel and Hugo are NOT the typical ending. Hanging from a meathook is more likely. Not threatening, just pointing out that there is no such thing as an “ex dictator”. There are ex Presidents. When it is clear the elctions are a sham then the peaceful transfer of power cannot occur.

I’m going deer hunting again.
freaking politicians. Wish they would just leave my money to myself. bastiges.
The Democrat’s plan is push the Private Sector over the Fiscal Cliff no matter what.
“If they wimp out and increase the taxes....”
Taxes will increase automaticaly. There is nothing the Pubs can do to stop it.
I wish Republicans would grow enough of a spine to say that government relief programs and "stimulus" are like opiate drugs; while they may at times alleviate a level of pain which would otherwise be fatal, they can also be addictive. More importantly, beyond a certain limit, increasing doses are harmful rather than therapeutic. If the current levels of such programs were not above the maximum therapeutic level, the economy would have recovered by now. Given the massive growth in such spending, it has almost certainly reached the point of doing more harm than good, and continued expansion would simply make things worse.
If the Republicans maintain that such programs are already too big, and refuse to consent to any expansion, then even if the Democrats push through massive increases any failure of the economy to recover would fall on their heads, and would be a sign that the Republicans were right. By contrast, if the Republicans accept that small increases may be beneficial, the Democrats will have no problem claiming that the programs are failing because the increases weren't big enough.
