Good point. When has a tax increase EVER been attached to any previous debt ceiling increases? Never. So why should no tax increase on this supposed agreement be considered some sort of victory for our side or America?

The deal that we thought was happening when Boehner walked out? Bozo tried sticking in a bunch of tax increases in at zero hour.

Because it would include spending cuts, with tax increases.

I am with the previous poster, though, that the BBA, in some form, must go to the states as a condition precedent.

Because BHO himself wanted tax increases so badly. He pushed it daily in his lectures (I mean speeches :-)

Hey, nobody said he lives in reality. He just wanted what he wanted - and that also included NO CUTS. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said it herself. And THAT little soundbite should be used as often as possible in Republican campaigns.
