As part of the deal to end the government shutdown and extend the debt limit, the House and Senate have agreed to begin long-stalled budget negotiations. The conferees planned to meet Thursday morning for breakfast—to “break the ice,” the Associated Press reported.
Once the actual talks get underway, President Obama will insist that tax hikes be part of the solution.
“The president has insisted that in the budget negotiations that he’s been calling for all year, everything has to be on the table. And that will be his position going forward,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Wednesday. …

You’re right. Frankly I’m sick of all the dire warnings about this and that. Let’s just get to it already. Survival of the fittest.
so Barry is a dead beat. Can’t budget, can’t trim excesses, so he spends with an open check book. When taxpayers can’t give another dime, what the hell is Govt. going to do?
Now I know why obama has been firing so many generals. He needs a bunch of yes-men to enforce martial law when the revolution begins.
Barry insists, refuses to negotiate, Gop-e caves, rinse and repeat.
When the money dries up, he’ll confiscate the pensions for the “rights” of a few because it’s not fair that some people worked hard to save for their retirement and others didn’t. The Govt. will tell us how much we can legally save.
Ok, now they want to raise taxes to pay for new spending that they are using to pay down past spending?
It’s offensive and insane.
The Dems want higher taxes. Let’s experiment and start with them first.
Oh no, not Tax Hikes again.
Unfortunately, you nailed it.
sad isn’t it? a one party system is a banana republic.
GOP can do nothing anymore. Obama will turn off the food stamps and blame the GOP. Media will deliver the hysteria that food stamps will be in jeopardy without tax hikes.
Deal done. There will be no more resistance to anything they want.
Wait until he rations toilet paper. None unless you submit to O’care. by data mining and spying, they will know who you vote for. Food, shelter, medical care.... all denied on the basis of who you are and what they think your value is.
I see forced DNA testing on pregnancies. Have a problem pregnancy with a possible genetic defect? I can see O’care forcing termination so the sick child, who can’t contribute of course and has no value, won’t use the healthcare system. Once they supreme court opened this door, it ain’t ever going to shut.
I went on the Kaiser calculator to run some numbers. Question on there if you smoke Tobacco and do your kids of 20 years age and younger smoke Tobacco. they can charge up to 50% of your premium charge on the exchange for tobacco users and that 50% surcharge isn’t qualifying money paid for an “up to” (dollar amount) tax credit. Nothing on there about if you use Choom like Barry. That’s smoke. They increase the taxes for ciggys but depend on those ever increasing taxes to pay for one of their twisted programs. those programs never go away, they just raise other taxes to make up lost revenue from the people that quit.
If war comes and we all pray that it never does... the media will be the first to pay their bill of treason. The rat party and the progressive republican caucus could never have destroyed so much of this republic without their propaganda. 49 stories on the end of the shutdown today and every single one blasts Cruz and blames republicans for everything.
I hope that the complicit MSM “sicko-phants” are run out of town. They sold their soul. shameful
Yes.... they sold their souls.
