VICTORY!!!
Batten down the hatches.
Arguably the most loathsome person on the planet..
I have no words. None.
Apparently Harry did not read his own bill.
now the truth comes out.
He’s actually right. The Bush tax relief sunset was factored into the figures in this bill. If they’re not renewed, the taxes will markedly increase. If they are renewed, then — by CBO’s calculations — that will create a $5T hole that will need to be filled. And (correct me if I’m wrong here) if the Gang of 12 doesn’t agree on a budget-cutting remedy, tax hikes will occur as a result of a “trigger.”
Wow... some victory for the Tea Party.
Thanks, Republican “leadership.” Get bent, the lot of you.
Obama really rolled Republicans: tax increases or cuts in defense. Nice choice.
There are no automatic taxes increases. That is just their smoke and mirrors calculation.
Why do they assume tax increases will result in higher revenue?
Rat bastards!
Call their bluff.
If the lizard wants to run on cutting defense, let’s rock.
Is he not right? The Dems will hold solid on their votes and not come to agreement without tax increases.
What I predict is a substantial tax hike disguised as reform and ‘flattening’ of the code. At least one RINO GOP Senator will go for that. There’s probably already a gentlemen’s agreement about it.
WINNING!
I can feel the tiger blood coursing through my veins!
That was unexpected.

There was never a chance that the debt commission stuff would be approved anyway. Politicians don’t like to take the risk of voting for specific cuts. It’s safer for them to just let across-the-board cuts be triggered automatically.
TRAITORS! Everyone who voted to raise the debt ceiling - ALL TRAITORS! They are NOT upholding the Constitution.
They all need to be arrested and hauled off to jail. Anyone up for doing some citizens arrests?
Republicans in Congress have shown great courage on the deficit, and deserve a lot of credit. The House passed the Paul Ryan budget, and all but 5 Republican Senators voted for it. They’ve come out strongly in favor of entitlement reform, and have Paul Ryan talking about the debt almost every day.
And they made the President and other Democrats eat their words and surrender by agreeing to spending cuts without any tax increases. It’s a tremendous victory.
This is the third real conservative government in the past 90 years, along with the Reagan Presidency and Gingrich speakership.
Reid and the Democrats are just sore losers. They got their glasses kicked in the negotiations, and now are whining about it.
I’d say the RinoCracy got pretty much what they wanted...
