John Boehner Fiscal Cliff Proposal Includes Payroll Tax Hike Maybe he hasn't heard that Obama won the election. Seriously, WTF is wrong with these jerks? Are they ever gonna work for the people of the United States?
In case you dont wanna go to that liberal bastion, HuffPo No wonder Boehner doesn't bother to leave the golf course.
Considering the opening offer from the Democrats was a equally big joke what did anyone think the counter offer would be.
Increase an employee's FICA contribution from 5.65% to the original 7.65%. Big fucking deal. Get a hobby, luddnut.
The GOP has offered closing loopholes and phasing out deductions for higher income earners,basically what the Dems are demanding. But they also want entitlement reforms in the package. The Dems are offering higher rates and more spending with no limit on the credit card. Remind me which side is more serious about the crisis?
Neither side works for us anymore. Obama may have won, but the vote was near a 50/50 split, so neither side has a mandate to do shit. They were voted in for the purpose of stopping the other guy. This is what the American people want, is a grid lock between two parties.
