Watched a little c-span. Mitch McConnell gave a little speech to the floor today. I posted the link below. Couple interesting comments he made. He made reference to the 'extreme left who want us to go off the fiscal cliff' group Obama had visit him this week. That would be the group of CEO's from major corporations of the country? (link below) McConnell said Obama was not leading on this issue and Obama's effort 'a joke'.
McConnell got more interesting as he went. He states that he does not believe the government needs more revenue. Really? Going to solve the debt crisis with cuts alone? I guess so because he followed that with, and I quote, "What we will not do is raise rates." So there you have it. Senate minority Mitch McConnell unequivocally takes raising tax rates off the table. Obama offers his hand in friendship to these people what do they do? Turn their back on him. For shame. Republicans are the ones not serious about fixing anything. You would think they would learn their lesson. Hopefully Kentucky can find someone else who will get serious about the problems this country faces rather than being an obstructionist.
