Appearing at the weekly Republican leadership press conference, Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) decried Democratic Leaders intent to adjourn for the fall without allowing an up-or-down vote to stop all of the tax increases set to take effect on January 1. Boehner issued the following statement:
A vote to adjourn this Congress without an up-or-down vote to stop all the tax hikes is a vote to raise taxes and destroy more jobs. American families and small businesses deserve better. This Congress has a chance to help end uncertainty for families and small businesses by stopping all the tax hikes set to take effect on January 1. If Democratic Leaders leave town without stopping all of the tax hikes, they are turning their backs on the American people.

Boehner's right. If Congress does nothing those Bush tax cuts sunset at the end of the year AND THEY HAVE TO DAMN WELL KNOW IT.
So, by punting the issue of extending them, they took the coward's way out, but it still boils down to saying they are going to let the Bush tax cuts sunset.
I guess Democrats think voter won't notice this.
November is coming liberals!
