What will likely happen is that no deal will be reached. Taxes will go up and in January the Dems will write a bill lowering them on the 98% that the GOP won't dare vote down.
The problem is they can't even make that vote now because the GOP controls the House and they won't allow it to go to a vote. However, maybe if they are more vocal to the public, the GOP will be forced by voters to allow such a vote.
Wel just be practical. Who created this so called cliff;Republicans and democrats< why did they create is the question. In plain terms they need to fix the dficit threatenig theis country. They put it i palce which contains measures neither supports. It goes i place if they cannot agree.I the end what will ahpooen is if it goes into effect each will balme the other. Just as Demcorats said for years that they Bush taxcuts were only benefited the rich;now they say that isn't ture. Its all spins as we have learned. i the end tho I don't see either plan porposed actually doig anyhtig to solve the deficit problem ;just kickigit further down teh road. Remmeber Obama has rejected and doubled down o what he previously proosed. So who do you think would like the cover of huge tax increases on all americans?
the question is why do the fascist liberals want to discriminate against one group..the middleclass making a household income of over 200k
the next question is why the fascist liberals can't figure out that the 'bush ' tax cuts/credits were mostly for the poor anf middleclass, and you need to either let ALL expire, or continue all
why dont the liberals try make ALL the tax cuts PERMANENT, then just do a followup bill...adding a 7th bracket make it for those householdingcome over 2.5 million...a 40% rate
but the dumbo liberals cant figure out logic
raising the taxes on the so called rick (those over 200k) will DO NOTHING for the deficit or the debt
we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem
If you want ALL the tax cuts to be made permanent, then don't ask the middle class and poor to see cuts in their medicare, education system, entitlements etc. We need to fix our deficit, so we need SHARED sacrifice.

1. Because if Obama gave into the tax hike, he would lose all his leverage.
2. That bill would never make it through the house, and you know that
3. Democrats hated the tax cuts in 01, 03, 10, and today. They are not going to allow the rich to get away with it this time. if you guys can cause us to drop in our credit rating, I got no problem with Obama taking us over the cliff if that means the top 2% get their rates jacked up, and defense spending cut.

Why don't wingnuts like you understand that spending and revenue are two sides of the SAME COIN?
Obama and the Democrats have complained about the Bush-Obama tax cuts for years so let them expire. The Republicans should give this to Obama so he can then come back with this own tax cuts next year. I don't think Obama would push very hard to get any tax breaks passed for anyone and just use it as an excuse to blame the Republicans.
