Boehner says NO to raising tax rates

[Black_Label]

What is Boehners bargaining position?

The increases and cuts automatically take place in January. Obama doesn't have to face reelection, he also gets a more favorable Congress in January. Why not wait it out, let tax cuts expire and then force Boehner to negotiate what he wants back in?

I agree the ball is completely in Obama's court. Not just the tax cuts to the rich, but a massive military spending bill are on the table, both the GOP's darlings with nothing the dems need.

Obama needs to play hardball and tell boner to go to hell. Not another dime to the rich, and the military spending needs to be slashed.

Boehner will get a better deal if he bargains now than if he bargains in January

Right now he may be able to get phased in tax increases or a raise in the threshold from $250,000 to $1 million a year, If he waits....those increases are already in place

Nobody wants to cut the military. If Boehner waits till January, he will have to bargain off of 10% cuts

Just ask any clueless low life degenerate
