Obama wants to raise taxes, and he is demanding that certain taxes will go up.
Now it is certainly a possibility that these taxes could result in a slower economy, or maybe something else will slow it down anyway looking like the taxes, so he demands a stimulus at the same time to pump the economy short term. He will just spend that new tax money. He wants no short term deficit reduction. He lied about that folks *shocked*
Now entitlements? How does he sell that to te Pelosi crew? They will tell him “We won”, so raise more taxes.
Lets face it. We aren’t going to get a deal from the Dems. Any agreement made will not be honored. When middle America sees themselves paying thousands more in taxes, we can hang it on Obama.
