how fucking much money do we have to borrow to let 50% of americans pay zero federal income tax each year? How much money do we have to fucking borrow to accomplish that?
This deal...as Obama outlined it tonight, will end up costing more that the dreaded stimulus that almost every single "conservative" on this board hates. So please tell me how any of you "conservatives" can believe this compromise is a good thing?
I don't.
155 weeks of unemployment is utterly insane. There are jobs out there. They are not your fantacy job, but it is a job.
can everyone work the jobs that are out there? No, some people are limited, and exceptions can be made.
UI should have been pushed past Christmas, just so no one takes it in the ass at this time, but not past the new year.
And no surprise, none of the liberals are demanding that thier people cut spending so we don't have to keep borrowing.

Tax-cut deal reached between Obama, RepublicansPresident Obama and congressional Republicans have agreed to a tentative deal that would extend for two years all the tax breaks set to expire on Dec. 31, continue unemployment benefits for an additional 13 months and cut payroll taxes for workers to encourage employers to start hiring.
The deal has been in the works for more than a week and represents a concession by Obama to political reality: Democrats don't have the votes in Congress to extend only the expiring tax breaks that benefit the middle class. The White House estimates that the proposed agreement would prevent typical families from facing annual tax increases of about $3,000, starting Jan. 1.
I agree with this since tight fiscal policy is nuts during a weak recovery, but it is pretty clear that both sides aren't ready to deal seriously with the deficit.
The tax package being discussed, including a likely temporary extension of a number of tax breaks for businesses, could add more than $500 billion to the deficit, depending on details. But supporters in both parties believe much of that money would be poured back into the economy at a time when recovery remains tentative.

We are still a long way from having an adult conversation on the deficit, which will require both spending cuts and tax increases.

The republicans refused to talk.
They told the country they would shut down anything the government tried to do unless the wealthy got their tax cut.
To them everything else didnt matter.

So, why didn't Obama have the balls to call their bluff? Can you imagine the poitical suicide the GOP would have committed by "shutting everything down" right about now?

B/c the gop didn't say that. She's making shit up and accusing the gop of her make believe.

Where the hell did you come up with 155 weeks.
That isnt what was proposed. The automatic stops remain in place. The extension means others will qualify has the others have exhausted thiers.
Jesus!!
Do the "fiscal conservatives" realize that we're so deep in debt that at this point the fiscally responsible approach is to reduce spending AND increase revenue? Amazing how election after election the Republicans can get their constituents hook line sinker with this "cut spending" mantra, yet don't deliver. And this new wave of Teepers is going to be different because...?

That came about as a result of the two Bush tax cuts that were
1. not affordable, and
2. not necessary.
None of your damned business.
If you don't think you pay enough, send a bigger check.

Don't knock it. He's working!
