The graduated extension expires this month unless extended...

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at Digg and at Reddit and in Stumbleupon and Delicious

I simply do not understand the Democrats willingness to decrease funding for Social Security (their baby)???

Idiots. They should at least make it expire at the end of the fiscal year. But they fall into the Christmas trap every time. And they’ll need a lame duck session after the election when (please God) a number of congressmen and senators will be packing up for good. And those that will have nothing left to lose will vote for it again. And Obama will still be president at Christimas one way or the other.

Boehner and Cantor need to go!

GOP phasers are set to “surrender”

[justlurking]

Frankly, I think this is politics at its worst.

But, I understand why the GOP is doing this. They were castigated last time for insisting that the payroll tax be paid for with spending cuts.

This time, they are right to just extend it, with no restrictions. Then, they can put the responsibility on the Democrats for holding it up.

...or pay taxes normally and expect Social Security benefits normally

...or hand Lucy the football normally and expect to kick it normally.

Only a real blockhead would take that option.
