The tax bill lowered 99% from the higher Clinton rates to the lower Bush rates. The 1% stayed the same which is why Rush is livid that Bohner didnt make sure all our taxes stayed at the higher Clinton rates, livid because he didnt get the Bush tax cut this time round.
Who-ever programs you forgot to tell you they all went up Jan 1 with no bill signed into law and this cut them Jan 2.
It sounds like you believe everything Rush says even if it makes no sense at all, here is some of his past wisdom predicting that Mccain then Romney would easily beat O.

I almost forgot this one :
We Could See a McCain Landslide (Rushlimbaugh.com, August 12, 2008)
“The enthusiasm that got people out in 2010, I'm seeing at every Mitt Romney rally. Romney's drawing crowds of 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 15,000. “The enthusiasm that we all saw in 2010 is there. The same issues that existed in 2010 exist today. There hasn't been anything that's gotten better.”

‘Don't Doubt me’ LOL
Stop it. Taxes did not go down and posting whatever you want about Rush will not change that fact.
Spending went up and so did taxes. Just because they would have went up more if they had not acted, does not equal a Tax Cut. Propaganda works better over at DU, not so well here.
Your specious argument that taxes actually went up on Jan 1, therefore the bill to keep rates in place was actually a cut.
