“With no meaningful spending reductions, all the Tax talk, 2%, middle-class crap means nothing.”
I totally agree. I think that continuously.
I tried unsuccessfully to learn specifically what will happen if the fiscal cliff legislation takes effect. That’s very important, as I hear that it’s not really a cliff but a slope but haven’t seen the specifics.
We’ve been led to believe that the fiscal cliff legislation (the Simpson Bowles recipe made into law?) is the disaster option. I’m not so sure. I would like to know the specific cutting and taxing and how they’re phased in.
I’m for letting the cliff happen and for Republicans having the courage to ignore today’s polls.
I have a link to the bill.
The line by line cuts start on page 13. You’ll be amazed at just how mny ‘committees’ and redundancies there appear to be. Quite an eye chart.
