Treasury secretary isn’t part of this negotiation, unless he has been appointed Senator to finish this term. He can stick it.
Maybe the Republican House should pass Obama’s Simpson-Bowles Commission recommendations. Although not perfect it’s better than anything else on the table now and would paint Obama and the Dims into a corner. I believe FR had an article about this recently.
Force them to detail their plans in writing so when they try to wiggle out of the cuts, the Republicans have a budget that has been passed into law and would require a modification that again would have to be passed.
I have been thinking the same thing. I would refuse to even meet/talk with him with a big wtf are you?
Wake up call:
THIS IS THE STUPID PARTY...REMEMBER?
Did you watch Fox Sunday - Crystal and Rollins were terrible, talk about old school Republicans....
RINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bring back Hayes and Charles.
“Call Obama’s bluff.”
Do it, I want that to be his legacy....
The only downside: In two years when the economy is humming along, O & dems will take credit.
Obama is going to want that debt ceiling to be raised pretty soon.
I told my wife pass Simpson-Bowles in it’s entirety and drop it on Obama’s desk and say sign it, it’s your commissions recommendation.
Yup. Crazy, but there it is.
Counter offer - all elected and appointed officials are taxed at 100%. The person who proposes this will be America’s hero.
Saw Chris Wallace interview of Geitner on FOX and couldn’t believe the liar - he’s the most partisan Sec. of Treas. ever and a political operative - not a finance guy - probably groomed for years by the Marxist powers just like Obama.
Where are the Repubs shouting the same claim against the Dems?
“The Democrats are holding tax cuts for the whole nation hostage over tax increases for a few. They are the ones risking the fiscal cliff - all for a tiny amount of taxes that won’t put a dent in the deficit.”
No cajones. Sickening.
They may be, for all we know.
Ask yourself, if they are, who is going to report it?
Why can’t our guys have the balls to say; “no deal without spending cuts”?
As far as I know you always had to be a government employee to take courses there.
Fine. Want compromise ? Tax increases for all liberals and registered Democrats.
We must not be hearing the same reports. I can't recall a time when they've been quoted otherwise.
Screw Geithner and the Democrats. Let’s go off that cliff and finally get to see what Obama is planning. Let’s have this battle under our terms not Hussein’s.
Yea, saw that panel and turned it off! Can’t watch it anymore, as a matter of fact, I can’t watch any news lately. Just seems pointless.
Oh, the irony of a rich tax cheat calling for higher tax rates on the rich
He and Charlie Rangel should take it on the road
