It is a meaningless vote that puts his members in a bad position of voting for a Tax increase.
Do what Dirty Harry just did. Send his members home.
Voting for a tax increase?? Taxes are going to go up 4 times as much if they DON’T vote for it.
Anything that stops a compromise with the White House is a vote for the biggest tax increase of all!!
We rolled the dice in 2011 that we would win the White House in 2012 and we’d be able to craft our own solution to the fiscal cliff. Well, we lost. So now you want to murder the US economy with massive tax hikes in order to say you didn’t vote for a much smaller one? Are you stupid?>>
The Senate is coming back on the 27th on the expectation that there is a deal by then that does not destroy the US economy. I hope they’re right.
