Hey! How is keeping the status quo on decade old tax rates for only another 24 months and increasing spend by nearly another trillion dollars by turning unemployment "insurance" into another entitlement "rocking chair" program like socialist western Europe in line whatsoever with the last election???

It looks to me like you and the top leadership of the Repellican Party cannot see the forest for the trees!!! We don't want another in a long series of losing compromises... we want clear cut victories!!! (and I do mean "clear cut")

Do nothing and everyone’s taxes will go up. It may be possible to retroactively repeal them after January but businesses need to be able to plan and make decisions for the future. If people just get money to spend, we will not see a supply side effect.

I’ve thought for a long time that the Republicans, of which I’m not one, should refer to this debate as Obama’s tax hikes.

I’ve, also, thought that after the initial 26 weeks, this money should be a loan, and should be expected to be paid in full with interest.

However, the inhabitants of our halls of power don’t agree with me. WRT gaining power, and how to go about it, the Republicans are almost as bad as the ‘rats.
