Oh, really? How about if it got rolled into the "fiscal cliff" "statesmanship"?
Never let another Democrat-created crisis go to waste.
The House GOP majority(now lame duck) has their hands all over that.
Specifically they passed those delayed spending cuts then spent almost a year complaining about them as if they had nothing to do with it.
On the tax cuts. The last R lame duck congress minority (mainly the Senate Rs) got those extended getting O to give in (which is what he wanted then) and if this House lame duck gives in to Dems the question will be “Why didn’t they just do it in late 2010 so Obama would NOT have had it as an election issue and the Republicans would?”
