I say let the tax cuts expire on all. I voted against uncontrolled government spending, Mr. and Ms. 2012 Majority Voter. You voted for it (and your President-elect got your message loud and clear). If I'm going to pay for it, then, by God, so are you. And this isn't just a case of not wanting to pay for your ballot lunacy. It's because until you figure out that we cannot continue on this path, we get ever closer to the end. Fiscal cliff? That's nothing compared to what happens when we become the former Soviet Union. And I still worry about just what kind of "wait until after the election" bargain our brilliant global apologist has in store with Putin. Putin is no dummy. He is intent on rebuilding the Soviet Union. He knows it was our unbeatable economy that defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Now that our economy is in the tank and heading even deeper with this last election, mark my words, Putin is ready to mop the Kremlin floor with US flags. Yep, tax the hell out of us all and just try to keep spending when people start feeling the direct cost of their vote.Mudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106218895150473141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-6268327646520319442012-12-01T08:45:18.376-05:002012-12-01T08:45:18.376-05:00Absolutely! It was the President's commission,...Absolutely! It was the President's commission, which he ignored, and we should hang it around his neck.<br /><br />But no deal is better than a bad deal. Let them go off the cliff and let them blame the Republicans. We have two years to beat the Democrats up with this shit economy. Obama said a "balanced approach", spending cuts with everything on the table for tax hikes. It's either that or nothing.<br /><br />I've heard a lot of talk from the bowtie Republicans about how we're getting most of what we want, Bush's tax cuts less higher rates on the rich. But that's not the point. SPENDING is the issue. It's the only issue that will make a difference politically or economically. <br /><br />So we either get spending cuts in the deal or we don't deal. Just wait for the automatic cuts etc. to kick in. If Boehner folds now we'll be taking it up the poop chute for the next four years."The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.com
