Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
It's passed in the Senate.
"The bill's cost, $858 billion, would be added to the deficit." lol @ deficit hawks...won't anyone think of the children?

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
Middle class families need a boost in this economy, and that is exactly what this plan gives them," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "It is not perfect, but it will create 2 million jobs, cut taxes for middle class families and small businesses, and ensure that Americans who are still looking for work will continue to have the safety net they rely on to make ends meet."
I'd love for Reid to explain how passing this bill will creat 2 million jobs. Is he really saying that by extending the tax cuts it will creat jobs. I thought liberals thought that was a bunch of BS. |

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
just another example of the Dem's caving in. this is all about the rich. doesn't change anything for me. pretty soon both parties will meet somewhere in the middle, and then we are screwed( more then we are now)

I could certainly understand the outrage if the gov't said "we're taking more out of the paychecks of the poor and middle class, but people in the upper incomes -- their paychecks will be higher". That would be upsetting, no doubt. But everybody gets to keep more of what they earn. Am I correct to think that the only way you'd be happy is that your paycheck stays the same but anybody with a bigger paycheck takes a hit? Your happiness depends on someone else's unhappiness? |

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
Well actually if they let the tax cuts expire it would have affect everyone. Even the people who don't pay taxes.

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
We don't have a tax problem we have a spending problem. I read today this new bill is filled with 8 billion in pork projects to get the dems approval.

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama

You don't have to cut anything since you can borrow more money! There's nothing wrong with doing what GW did. People keeping their money is always good thing.

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
Neither the boat nor the truck were new when I purchased them. If gas keeps going up I need some of that pork but I'll make my own. I don't spend money I don't have and then brag about it like Reid does.

Re: Surprise move on tax cuts by Obama
Isn't funny how the left doesn't give a rats ass about the deficit when they pass the "stimulus" bill or health care, but suddenly when it comes to taxes, they get all huffy about it.
Of course, the Republicans are just as bad -- they only cry about the deficit if they're aren't the ones spending. When they have control, massive deficit spending is just fine. |
