Given Democratic control of the Senate, your ideal is a non-starter. Whether you like it it or not, you will be presented with two choices. (1) higher taxes (which will of course also mean higher deficits in the long-term) or (2) the automatic triggers which will mean deeper Pentagon cuts than the first choice. Which will you choose when the time comes?
Rums is right.
I will not agree to either. I’m angry about it, and I’m going to let more Congressmen than my own know about it.
Frankly, I think it’s time 50 million U.S. Citizens show up on Congress’ doorstep, and tell it the Leftist drivel has come to the end of it’s road in the U.S.
The Republicans signed on to this nonsense. We can’t blame it all on the Democrats.
