This thread is DOA.

Those cuts you are talking about were to take place from tomorrow to 10 years from now. I guess you don't understand that his spending cuts were to be spread out for years but his taxing gains were to be immediate. Pretty shrewd but not too smart.

Luckily, the public is on the side of the GOP.

THEY just won't get real knowing that the $3 trillion was to cover a whole 10 years. Just think how much he could collect in new taxes in that 10 years.

That is a pile of steaming Pelosi, bob.

Worse yet, he said while campaigning that we could judge him by the people he surrounded himself with and appointed that group of socialists and communists. He is surrounded by them and these people still call him centrist;. Unbelievable.
