while repugs are held in back seat car by teabaggers car goes over cliff

Here's a scenario that is bit much even republicans, and that is saying a lot.

While most indicators would say we are in a recovery, albeit a slow one, we are turning the corner. One affect that going over the cliff might cause is reversal of the economic growth. Just about assured actually. If the republicans calculate that in two years the he said/she said of who was responsible for going over the cliff makes everyone's memory fuzzy and the only thing people see is a lousy economy they might be able to keep some of their seats. It might be a long shot but it might be the only shot they have keeping any control whatsoever in the government. Although it is self interest over country that has not exactly stop them in the past.
 
I have seen several reference to statements by republicans that they will not support "raising taxes for new spending'. The only thing I can find that would be called new spending is the extension of the unemployment benefits. Is this what it is down to? Tax increase vs unemployment benefits? What else is there outstanding?
