Over the past 10 years, the country has spent more than $400 billion just servicing the debt created by the cuts. Obama has been in office over 2 years and he had a filibuster proof senate along with the house for several months. Why didn't the democrats repeal those cuts? In fact the democrats extended them when they expired. All Obama had to do was veto that bill. These are now the Obama tax cuts, along with a 14% cut in the FICA tax. He had doubled down on the Bush tax policy. It's a bit more nuanced than that, but basically you're right. The nuance includes both lack of Dem backbone and Republican obstructionism (the "filibuster" proof senate isn't much of an argument, since there are wide range of Dems). now THAT is strue. as folks point out, the dems are far less united in their hatred of the middle class than the GOP is. the 1st order of business of the GOP is to destroy the middle class But the democrats beat the GOP to it, at $14.5 trillion, me thinks unless something very radical changes, count US DC bankrupt and in spiral debt. US will not do a Portugal or Greece, they will go more like Zimbabwe, hyperinflation devaluing wages and incomes. US Fed is bankrupt, its biggest credit can't pay the bills the only solution since 2008 is to create new inflationary debt dollars hand over fist, faster than toilet paper actually. Huge fraud on the people by its own government. Yep, DC is slowly screwing all Americans. That is why 74% of the Whitehouse staff got a 9% or better raise last year. Trouble really boils down to flea baggers like yourself supporting the very people that screw you. Too damned stupid to see the obvious. -- Government isn't the solution to the bad economy, it is the problem. |

Pelosi said "we are a do nothing congress", Obama said "we need to raise the price of fossil fuels to price folks out of the market"... What you "think" republicans want is just your own style of bull****. Good part is Obama's way is going to screw the fleabaggers more. Heck, even a poor person surviving on only SS gets the gas price hike in gas, food, even rent as the owner will want more as will the city tax/utilities. Less of their incomes are discretionary to compensate for the price hikes. Nice kick of inflation onto the fixed incomes and low incomes. But that is what this is about. Does big fat statism sized behemoth government take the hit? Or pass the hit to the people in hyper-inflation and a lower standard of living? The more the government gets, the less the people get.

If Obama wanted the Bush tax cuts to expire, all he had to do was to veto the extension bill. and let the middle class take it on the chin...as is usual when the GOP is involved. There was not a veto proof support for the extension These are now the Obama tax cuts. uh no. he proposed ONLY a tax cut for the middle class the GOP, intent on destroying the middle class, said no they're the bush tax cuts your spin is nonsense |
