Some people on the right seem to think that if there is ethanol subsidies in this or something like that then the Republicans should kill the whole deal and let all the taxes go up in Jan. They are going to do the same thing the Democrats did if you do something like that, they will have allowed a small group of purists to force something on the American people they do not want. The Tea party does not want those taxes to go up and they won't thank the Republicans if they kill this deal. Last I heard the majority of the American people supported the plan, if they kill it Obama looks reasonable and the Democrats and Republicans in Congress look like a bunch of crybabies.Terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226693134160057218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20260407450756072102010-12-10T17:10:46.041-06:002010-12-10T17:10:46.041-06:00Matt - explain me why I am obligated to anyone exc...Matt - explain me why I am obligated to anyone except who I choose?Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205752419540502278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-20544200512903060552010-12-10T17:09:52.296-06:002010-12-10T17:09:52.296-06:00Last I checked the tax rates have NOT been extende...Last I checked the tax rates have NOT been extended and Bernie Sanders is winning...Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205752419540502278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-7449249988578801162010-12-10T16:51:45.824-06:002010-12-10T16:51:45.824-06:00Holy Moly

That's the only way the deficits can shrink. <br /><br />So the Tea Party people will have to be united by pushing for major adjustments to Medicare and Social Security, as well as defense, to close the huge deficits.<br /><br />Obama outmanuevered the Congressional Republicans because he knows they have no serious ideas to fix the deficit. But he also has no ideas either. They can try and overhaul the tax code, but as Reagan showed, a restructured tax code doesn't prevent budget deficits.mcculloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168402889404727565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-18517117385918331142010-12-10T16:48:57.951-06:002010-12-10T16:48:57.951-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.BJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447134335568803085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-73102996649560966012010-12-10T15:51:22.969-06:002010-12-10T15:51:22.969-06:00Krauthammer is mostly right here.

It's rather disgusting but that's the GOP. Their only principle is to keep the wealthy happy. <br /><br />In fact, they love adding 700 billion to the deficit [over 10 years] in the form of a tax cut for the wealthy but can't find it in themselves to support a 7 billion health plan [over 10 years] for the 9/11 ground zero workers.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977662030208589392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5946787145636908412010-12-10T14:49:02.466-06:002010-12-10T14:49:02.466-06:00does anyone other than me remember some columnist...does anyone other than me remember some columnist predicting the lame duck session would produce nothing except sound and fury and would end for the honorable members going home , their hands unsullied by legislative achievement.<br /><br /><br />all of this lame duck session is posturing--the senate dems, 12 or 13 of whom are vulnerable arent about to go on the skyline given the ass kicking the dems got a month ago. sorry bastards are going to do nothing in an attempt to hold on to their seats--<br /><br />Fortunately for the country, the repubs can do stuff in the house, but he dems control the senate--Mr Obama can veto anything he desires without much chance for override--IOW: gridlock which will be in the country's best insterest for the next two years.Roger J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12639676792043324100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-44088011062360402882010-12-10T14:36:12.822-06:002010-12-10T14:36:12.822-06:00Thats fine.
