Extend All Bush Tax Cuts "Permanently"

[miller]

Obama can veto any Republican bullshit they vote on. None of you people have any clue. He can make an executive order to keep unemployment checks too. You voted for an asshole. I voted for Nader I'm proud to say.

 

[asterism]

or no deal at all!!! We'll take it back up on January 5th and leave out the pork!

What say you?

Go with the compromise we got and let the new Congress repeal the pork and/or cut spending to pay for a conversion of long term unemployment insurance to welfare.

I agree in a sense.To hear the Libs constantly screaming about the 99ers not being taken care of in the last deal is very telling.Taken care of is the key phrase here.After 99 weeks collecting and nothing to show for it it's obvious these folks want to be "taken care of"..If after 99 weeks they have not found employment of any kind it might be a better idea to move them over to a welfare program where they can be "taken care of" till they decide they would like to get back into the work force.

Yup. If it's welfare, dole it out and call it that.

This Congress just cannot get enough of the spending. They didn't get the message sent back in November. Instead? They try to do as much damage as they can upon their exit as so many predicted.

They cannot get outta the District Of Criminals fast enough for my tastes.
And good riddence to bad rubbish.

The next congress will be every bit as eager to spend money we don't have. It's a national disease, just look at the groundswell of support for tax cuts at a time when our budget is 40% in the red.

You are not for the tax cuts and for balancing the budget at the same time. You are for one and opposed to the other.

Two words...Cautious Optimism...The GOP knows they're on Double-Secret Probation...and besides? The people will take the Patton Tact and fire their collective asses and put people in there until they get it right.

[That is presuming we don't collapse economically then]...

what? You are gonna vote for democrats if the GOPtards don't cut spending 40% while Obama is the pres and the Dems still hold the senate?

Right!
