Republicans = Democrats Lite. Always have, always will. There will be a tax increase with no substantive cuts. 2014 Republicans lose the House.

The media acts like this is something new or that the GOP is giving some kind of new tax concession. Of course they say this to try to con and make conservatives mad.

But this has been the GOP position all along and it's also what Romney proposed...revenue from closing loopholes.

We’ve always said revenues could go up by eliminating tax loopholes. I wish they’d all be eliminated so the pols couldn’t hand them out to their cronies.

So which goobermint agencies are being cut back? What entitlement programs are getting reduced to her the budget under control?

Anything less than substantial cuts to SPENDING are a show and a farce.

You are going to help the Obamunist payback his peeps for the good job they did keeping him on the throne.

If we're going to go Grecian, let's get it over with. Don't drag this out for five years. Just spend us into oblivion, default, and away we go.

This is nothing but theater..The fix is in. They will cave now and again in a few months when the debt limit must be raised.

Predictable

There are no leaders. They are only looking out for their own interests.
