All while running the same old game, demonizing the GOP and "the rich" , while ignoring the Dem led spending that created the deficits in the first place.

The Bush WARS/TAX CUTS created this mess. Wake up and smell the coffee or tea if you prefer.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know about the tax credit for the middle class/poor going away.

Too funny!

So now the expiration of a 2 year tax credit is going to be a 'massive tax hike on the middle class,' yet reverting 10 year old tax rates on the middle class back to what they were is not a tax increase?

Must be more of that left wing math. No matter what numbers you add the result is always fail.

Why does your side say if they end the tax cuts on the rich it is a tax increase? How many sides of your mouth are you going to talk out of?

You guys are funny. Actually, most of us are. The politicians always play the blame game and always blaming other for the problem they created. Yet, the rest of the country plays along.

The rich always blame for the problem. It's always the rich saving too much money and not spending enough. Not giving away enough money. However, the politician just spend and spend and no one seem it is the problem.

When it come to reduce spending, everyone support it, but under one condition. The reduce spending cannot reduce their owns. Reducing everyone else is ok.
