Neither has the Senate.
Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
- Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), March 20, 2006
If we want to save the counry, we have to win the White House and Senate next year. Until then, we have to cut the best deal we can.
Obama is on tv takinng creit for HIS solutions. All he did was throw tantrums and walk out. Thus idiots arrogance know no bounds. I can’t stand this man. He is pathetic.
THE BUSH TAX RATES ARE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE......
THAT IS A TAX INCREASE.......
THIS DEAL IS A FRUAD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE......
AND, I just heard on Fox News that the Bush Tax Cuts are allowed to expire at the end of 2012.
Unless your rep is a Dem, tell them to support it- and their president!
It’s not the worse bill they could have given us, but it would be great for the Tea Party if there are just Dem and RINO votes for this.
Two years from now on July 31, 2013, I predict the GDP to debt ratio will be at least 120% – approaching Greek level.
As long as base-line budgeting is used it is a bad deal based on the false assumption the economy is always increasing.
I’m sure I’ll get my underwear torched for saying this... but what do those who are screaming “NO DEAL!” expect? We made great progress in 2010, but the reality is, folks, we don’t have enough influence or control yet to implement the change we need. To be honest with you, I have greater fear over a collapse of our system and the immediate power grab that Zero would implement than I do over making some progress in this battle like we have while keeping the issues in front of the public.
So we call our leaders — tell them “NO”. They comply. The deal falls apart. Are you REALLY welcoming what might follow in the wake?? The reality is Zero and Harry are NEVER EVER EVER going to give us what we really want. The key comes next November...
Contrary to what you must think, the members of this site do not arrive here every day riding on the short bus.
>> There is NO debt deal yet
But they’re trying to box-in the House TEA members with the implying threat TEA will be responsible for the debt crisis.

s nNo one in the media will question Obama's assertion that a "deal" has been agreed upon. If it fails at this point, it will be easy to blame those unreasonable Teabagging extremists for reneging on their end of the "deal".
Actually voting on legislation is so last-century anyway, better to "deem" the legislation completed and hog all the credit in advance. If it doesn't actually happen, it's the other party's fault.
from what I can see why pass it...
It can’t pass. Government spending increases at 8% per year, GDP is between 0% and 3% per year. NOT SUSTAINABLE!!!!

This really pisses me off!

Even better! Even better. Instead of not voting, vote present. Squeeze the Islamic Socialist until it kills his whole Ramadan holiday on Martha's vineyard.
