WASHINGTON Republican US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that he favored cuts to popular safety net programs but opposed tax hikes on the rich as part of a plan to rein in galloping US debt.
"The country needs economic growth and fiscal responsibility, not higher taxes and new Washington spending and regulations," he said after President Barack Obama laid out his vision for deficit cuts at the White House.
"On job creation, we need to reduce the regulatory burden, prevent tax hikes, and make it easier -- not harder -- for job creators to start hiring again," the senator said, with US unemployment at 9.1 percent.

I guess that's it then. Obama will fold, and after that we'll do like London.

We dont need more taxes, we need the economy to take off.
Maybe you guys should release the next 500 regulations. That seems to be the only DNC answer.
Raising taxes in this current economic disaster/landscape?!
Doctor: Mr Smith, you have cirrhosis of the liver and just tested positive for hepatitis. I need to you to drink a six pack of Bud light every night and everything will be just fine.
Patient: ......but
Doctor: Now run along now.

That's govt care. I didn't figure that you would get it.
If Democrats really thought that raising taxes was the answer then why didn't they take advantage of having had the House, Senate and Whitehouse for two years? There was NOTHING that Republicans could have done to effectively stop them. The fact that they were able to ram Obamacare through without any Republican support is proof of had the ability. They were just too chickenshit to raise taxes without Republican cover votes.

no... government care would want you healthy so you can work and pay your taxes... GOP care wants you to die so insurance companies make more money, your social security and Medicare Payments will get added to their coffers to spend on giving the wealthy more tax breaks and writing laws to let Wall Street fuck us again.

Bullshit.... they didn't have the majority anymore than mainstream Republicans have the Majority in the House. The TEA PARTY is the GOP version of the Blue Dog Dems.

Huh? Healthy? We've lost over 40 million to abortions. There's a tax base right there. But alas, govt doesn't give two shits about you or I.

Which means a further downgrade is possible, the Nation is truly at the mercy of blind rightist ideologues.
