Democrats only intended to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class for 1 year, the media wont report the details even if Democrats let it slip out long ago...
So when zero gets on tv and says it all our fault a lot of people actually believe it.
You have to ask yourself however if that even makes sense? It doesn't.
So the negotiations go on over minutia.
Negotiating over how much you want to screw the producers in small business borders on insane. Is it 250k 400k, 1 million? It's like asking someone where he would like to be shot, in the head or in the foot.
Meanwhile, other negotiations go on over whether or not to cut the deficit 20 cents or 30 cents when we borrow over a trillion dollars a year more than we take in.
You gotta wonder what alternative universe our legislators live in.
