Because there was no other bill that would have had a chance to get passed on time before the Aug 2nd date. A bill with the required 4 trillion in cuts with 1 trillions in tax loophole fixes was presented which would have went MUCH further to fixing our fiscal issues was already shot down by the Tea Party. It was an excellent deal for anyone truly concerned with the budget, but no they killed it out of sheer stubborn principle. Politics over country on full display. So like I said....if you can't see how the Tea Party had a hand in this and feel the need to blame Obama 100% then you should never try to act like you are objective or rational.
Why didn't the democrats raise taxes and fix these problems "their way" when they controlled both, legislative and executive branches of government?
I believe letting the Bush tax cuts expire was something that many democrats wanted. Unfortunately the faux-deficit hawks blocked it.
