Try another excuse for the failures of George W. Bush Jr.
So what you are saying is there was a series of bills given to Bush by the Democrats that were vetod and/or not signed that would have made a difference..

Fine, I'll bite..

LIST THEM..

I actually dont think its that bad of an idea, but I want an all or nothing approach.. While I understand this will negatively affect the economy, I'll pull the Democratic line when they passed unemployment, the economy will cushion the increase and we'll be fine.. Of course they turned out to be 100% wrong, nevermind that.. but I do think we either need to increase revenues or cut spending massively, and we all know they aren't cutting spending..

edit, I meant to say when they passed the minimum wage increase

Exactly, they were cooking the books all over the place, making up phony profits, fraud and deceit, that was the 1990s. You cannot return to a land of fantasy that sits on a pile of make believe funny-money. i have to ask those democrats like JTG if they even recall Enron.

I don't think it is an either or proposition, we need to do both. Absent cutting spending you cannot raise taxes,

Let Washington politicians prove they can cut spending, before they force more taxes out of my already tight budget.

Right, thats what I'd like to see, the tax cuts expire, the spending cut by an equal amount, meetup somewhere in the middle..

btw, I'm still waiting for the other poster to explain to me how 100% tax rates would indicate a fantasti economy and list the Democratic bills veto'd by Bush which would have helped the economy.

I wonder where he went?

What you said.

The REAL party of HELL NO, the dem NO crats want to steal from successful people and hand money to losers.

We will see if the dems are really for getting the economy going or for another recession like the last 2 under their short 4 year control.

Most liberals here do not understand if this happens it will effect everyone, not just the FAKE rich they all have been scammed into thinking.

Even a family earning 80k per year will lost 421.00 per month if this tax breaks expires.

Lesson to liberals, this tax cut is NOT just for rich people. You have been scammed once again.
