“There's not going to be an agreement without rates going up,” said Geithner

Who is this punk?

When a known TAX CHEATER can go on TV and blame others for any fiscal cliff, we are in serious trouble!

Let the Bush tax cuts expire FOR EVERYBODY.

That will bring a lot of the 53% who voted for Ubama back into the taxpayer population.

Let them feel how much government costs.

No deal unless entitlement reform.

There isn’t going to be any deal.

See you after the fall, Mr. Geithner.

This is what happens when you got a commie running the joint who thinks that the IRS is a wealth redistibution machine with guns.

Ah, Timmy Geithner.

Whose father Peter Geithner was President of the Ford Foundation funding some of the initiatives in third world hellholes that Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham was directly involved in.

Small world, ain’t it?

If I was discussing / negotiating this with him I would say

“we will have to negotiate taxes. And we cannot do that here. However everything is on the table.

Now let’s get to the meat of it and discuss spending cuts. We are at $16T in debt and adding $1T each year. This is unsustainable and will turn this once great country into Greece. We must get this under control and cap the debt and keep from enslaving future generations. We propose across the board spending cuts with the same percentage applied to ALL departments.”

No-no.

Mark Levin has the best idea to turn the tables:

HOUSE OF REPS PASS A MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT / PERMANENT BUSH RATE.

SEND IT TO REID IN THE SENATE LET HIM NOT TABLE IT OR VOTE IT DOWN.

AJORN HOUSE FOR XMASS

It’s part and parcel of the Marxist line that “the wealthy” must be penalized for being so much more comfortable than the proletariat.

The trouble is, of course, as even a superficial examination of history will reveal, that once the wealthy are stripped of their “wealth” then society becomes a poverty-stricken mess with nothing to offer the screaming mob any longer, and revolution and anarchy are the inevitable result. Political revolution is the sure result.

This revolution is Obama, Chaper II. He studied his Karl Marx well, and is employing congress and his voter base well - as the Useful Idiots they are.

Strange that after so much fuss and fury, America has surrendered to Marxism/communism without so much as a ruffle.

The GOP will be destroyed if they are publicly defeated and humiliated. They need to hold their ground and get major entitlement reform in exchange for increased revenues. Boehner, however, might rather be a house puppy in a guilded cage.

No deficit deal until everyone starts paying taxes. I’m tired of supporting 6 families when 5 of them are nothing but bums.

Take income THIS year, push expenses into NEXT year ... not so hard, is it?

Geithner knows he personally has nothing to worry about, as the maxim is , “From each according to his ability..”

How strange. One might conclude we fought and won the Cold War...for this?

If obozo got EVERYTHING he and his buzzard cronies want it would be $89 Bln over 10 years — enough to run the government for 8 WHOLE DAYS.

Part of me says to complete cave — give them everything they want and let all hell break loose. Or do nothing and let all hell break loose.

Either way, Americans are too stupid to know this regime owns this economy. I just don’t know if another 4 year of agony would be enough to open their eyes.

exit82~~:” Whose father Peter Geithner was President of the Ford Foundation funding some of the initiatives in third world hellholes that Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham was directly involved in.
Small world, ain’t it?”

Would that make it an incestous relationship ?
The only thing more comical than tax no-pay Geitner having a hissey-fit
is the Obungler-in-chief narcissist having a hissey-fit because he can’t get his own way !

I agree, but I don't see it happening. I got a queasy feeling reading this article. The GOP is gonna cave, I see it coming.

The closer we get to the deadline, the more worry is going to set in, then the closer after that, the panic is gonna set in.

The GOP will say, "Okay, we'll give you a little bit if you give a little bit back." The Dems will say "Okay, we'll take a little bit and take a little bit of our offer back." Then the GOP will say, "Okay, we'll give you a little bit if you don't take that little bit back." The Dems will say "Okay, we'll take you little bit and take a big chunk back."

Same S***, Different Day.

The GOP is under the gun with this one. The Clock's tickin' for THEM, not the Dems. Once the clock runs out, every media outlet is going to start blaring that the GOP has refused to make any counteroffer to the entirely reasonable offers of the WH.

Yeah, the GOP is gonna cave.

Hope not, but think so.
