They cry that the Bush tax cuts favored the rich,but refuse to demand the entire Bush tax cuts expire.
Why ?
Because low income voters don't want to lose their cuts Bush gave them.
I said from day 1.......................if the Bush tax cuts were so bad,let the entire Bush tax cuts expire.
And I also favor either retaining all 3 (Bush full cuts, SS cut, and extended ui) or ZERO of them permanently. With 1 up or down vote. Few Dems would be BRAVE enough to vote, though.
Honestly I'm indifferent but they won't be going anywhere since Romney will be elected!
Actually they expire well before Romney, if elected, would be sworn into office. It was done this way by design, so Democrats can turn it into election year politics.
Now they are coming back for round 2 of this fight. Obama got stomped in round 1. The Republicans extended ALL the Bush tax cuts and Obama got nada, nothing, zero, zilch in return. Now the Democrats and Obama are already backing away from the Republicans again. Obama once threatend a VETO if the tax cuts were extended for anybody over $250,000 a year. Now he backed off to a million a year. The Republicans have again made it clear they will accept nothing less than a full retreat. Obama should find some spine and use his veto stamp and let all the tax cuts die if the Republicans do that. I don't think he will because Obama is spineless and gutless but he should.
He should close Gitmo, too. And give the terrorists actual trials in american courts, not just kill them with drone strikes. Not much due process there. Obama doesn't know much about Constitutional law, but that much should be obvious.
Wow look at the unemployment soaring on that graph caused by W and the GOP Though nice deflection, that doesn't answer the fact that if giving everything to the rich leads to a booming economy, under W and still today we should have the strongest economy in the nation's history.

You mean where it fell from 6% to 4%? And then Democrats took over Congress?
p.s. dont distract from your previous error, you were talking about the economy. Nothing to say now that you've been proven wrong but change the subject?

But that wasnt your argument, you said the economy didnt boom, but clearly it did. It went from $10.3T to $13.2T in a very short period of time. The fact that we currently have a recession, and the GDP remains artificially high because government is pumping it up with a few extra trillion a year, doesnt mean the boom didnt take place.

LOL sure, it's all the dems fault. If the GOP wasn't doing such a horrific job, they never would have gotten their rears handed to them in 06' when the democrats took both houses. Thank god they did, who knows how horrific things would be now with even a second more of GOP control.

The economy never boomed, you are using cherry picked right wing fodder to bring the fail once again. Bush slashed revenues while at the same time spending like a lunatic, only an idiot does that, and those idiots are the GOP and W.
