They will compromise by taking it up to $1.01 of spending cuts for $41 of tax increases.

Last I checked, the House’s approval was still required and if any of the ‘pubs ever grew a pair, they might still bring things to a halt. It is theoretically possible...

Wrong!
Democracy is two lions and a lamb voting on lunch.

The House can adjourn, and it kills this Senate Bill for all time.

He better. I am getting more and more angry with all of this. They have to cut spending because all that money is borrowed and putting us deeper into the "hole".

Big Ben will just keep buying up those 10 year treasuries. Question is, when will the world lose confidence in our debt and it trades at 10 cents on the dollar.

If this is all they need to do, what don’t they just walk out? It is all they have left anymore. Just curious.

The U.S.A is a dictatorship and the media are the dictators.

call GOP Congressmen in the House, tell them not to vote for this ridiculous Bill , nor any deal ,there is no cliff as that “fiscal cliff” is media lies to force them to agree to tax increases.

Congress switchboard number: (202) 224-31

tell them to adjourn ,no vote , tell them “nuts”. the media, Obama, Pelosi want this bill passed. don't give it to them. and no a meteor will not hit the Earth as the media makes it seem like with this “fiscal cliff” bs

Obama, the democrat leadership, and his czars should be immediately arrested and held over for trial. Take note of the GOP members that collude with his plan to destroy the US.

Thank you. Question I have been pondering is what if The Fed owns ALL the treasuries

You can save your breath. His office is closed for the holiday. Please call back during “normal business hours” - that would be from 10 to 2 every 6th Wednesday and Friday!

We know how the government works. The thing about this particular situation is that no bill needs to pass for all taxes to raise. So, it requires the President’s signature to prevent such tax hikes. For his signature, you need to give in on his priorities or get the public on your side.
