There is no filibuster in the house, the majority rules and there are

The dems had the majority in the house.

well lets see...the GOP has had the house for 5 months

how they doing? they balance the budget?

Exactly the same as the democrats. There are really not that much
different.



so obama's not the problem

gee. and yet the right wing continues to assert he is.


He is not part of the solution either,


And your solution is to do what? Eviscerate the middle class and the
poor, and leave the rich alone.


and let the middle class take it on the chin...as is usual when the
GOP is involved.

Make up your mind. Were the Bush and now Obama tax cuts a good thing
or a bad thing. You are arguing with yourself now


HAHAHAH you kind of forgot

obama proposed a tax cut ONLY for those making less than 250K


The $250k and above tax may be nice symbolism but it is insignificant.


It's not insignificant. It's a great start.



There was not a veto proof support for the extension

These are now the Obama tax cuts.

uh no.

he proposed ONLY a tax cut for the middle class

The tax cuts on the 250k and over people are only 18% of the total
deal, virtually insignificant. Obama's 14% drop in the FICA tax costs
over twice what that would have given us back.


ummm...if they're insignifican

why does ALL GOP policy focus on cutting their taxes?

if the amount is so small, why does the GOP refuse to cut taxes unless
they're rincluded??


They are idiots too.


We really needed Obama to veto the whole renewal bill


And the result would have been even more pain for people least able to
handle it.
