The house has a plan. Let Ryan do the talking. Get out of the way Boehner.

[HarleyD]

Whatever the House offers will never be good enough. Obama’s plan is 1) either complete control, or 2) send the economy over the cliff and blame the Republicans.

[taillightchaser]

This country needs 536 new folks in DC. That is the only solution to the mess the incumbents have created.

Theatrics on all sides.

Disgraceful.

If we wanted to see live theatre, we would buy a ticket to a play.

[1010RD]

Even better. Just pass it and create a message for all GOP members to take back to town halls celebrating Christmas and the Holidays. Then leave DC. Let the Senate and WH act.

Boehner counterpunches Obama’s cliff offer

Counterpunch? Look at this article. Looks like Mr. Boner is not counterpunching, but being sucker punched.

 

The Boehner Fiscal Offer (Agrees with 60% of Obama plan )

Here are two things to keep in mind with regards to Boehner’s budget offer. First, when you begin negotiations agreeing to 60% of the demands of the other side and fail to offer a bold contrast on the other 40%, you are headed for an outcome that is 80-90% favorable to your opponent. Second, when you need to outsource your budget plan and entire view of government to Democrat Erskine Bowles, you are relegating yourself and your party to irrelevancy.

Anything that is not word for word is automatically turned down.
Don’t forget that idiot hairy reeeed stated that if Romney were to win that HE wouldn’t be trying to work with him.

eyedigress (#3)you really don’t expect a politician to give up a little of his (at least in his own mind) power for the good of the country do you?

Saw an excellent article today saying that in this country you need a license to be a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, Truck Driver etc etc etc but all it takes to be a politician is the ability to lie on your feet and buy enough votes to win, absolutely NO license, qualifications, experience or even a permit required.

Correction: 534

I like my representative, Trey Gowdy, and one of my 2 Republican Senators.

[eyedigress]

Just pass it in the House and be done with it. Let Numbnuts and Hairy Reed attack all they want.

[annieokie]

I like my representative, Trey Gowdy,

WE DO TOO. Hold on to him as long as you can, what a blessing to see such GRIT for a change.

Why is this so difficult. It was the “Bush tax cuts for the rich”. Heard that for 8 f’ing years. Republicans should now stand up and say they are letting the “Bush tax cuts for the rich” expire and that is their tax increase on the wealthy.

Force the Dems to say, “wait, Bush’s tax cut was for everyone.”

Then Republicans vote to make the Bush tax cuts permenant.

That’s how you win fights.

Limiting the cap to those with incomes over $250,000 leaves only $800 billion in revenue. A $25,000 cap that applied to all households would raise taxes by an average of $2,400 on 17 million households with incomes below $250,000 ($200,000 for singles). Treasury estimates show that about 40 percent of the revenue from such a cap would come from these households. Thus, the amount of revenue that could be raised from taxpayers making more than $250,000 is only about $800 billion.

Raising taxes by 2,400 on 17,000,000 households is 40.8 billion. If that's only 40% of the total, then the total is 102 billion not 1 trillion. So they must be talking about the next 10 years, not per year. Pretty piddly. The real problem is not deductions or anything like that, but spending.

Even if they gave him everything that he wanted and worded exactly as he wanted, Obama would still turn it down, blame the Republican party as the party against the middle class and what ever other label he can throw into the mix. Obama is in a position of strength. If he does nothing taxes go up anyway, bush taxes, AMT tax, Obama care taxes start to kick in, and on top of it he has a government shut down he believes the stupid people of this country will blame the republicans with the help of the media. Obama sees his chance to overthrow what is left of our republic and turn it into a socialist quasi fascist dictatorship with the elites on both sides ultimately supporting when the dust settles.

[Resettozero]

Okay, Mr. EQAndyBuzz. But why are your comments addressed to me and why the profanity? What gives, Mr. EQAndyBuzz?
