well no. the budget is the function of the house and it was not
filibuster proof

There is no filibuster in the house, the majority rules and there are
time limits on all debates.
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.

but, then, you simply say it's the black guy's fault

In this case it was. If Obama wanted the Bush tax cuts to expire, all
he had to do was to veto the extension bill.

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.

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.

Yet Obama extended the whole tax cut plus the double down.

The total cost of the Obama tax cut is almost a half trillion a year.
($370B for the income tax cut and $120B for the payroll tax cut.)
We are borrowing every nickel of that.

Bull****. If you think it will cost 1/2 trillion, cite a credible
source. Not some fleabagger sky is falling BS site, but a real
economics site.

Because the tax cuts are so small compared to the shortfall. You
fleabagger are worried about a penny when your short a $1.

Looks like the right wing nuts are turning on their own.
