Republicans "Bending" on New Taxes

[packerconvert]

That the left wing rag is reporting that Republicans are "bending" on raising taxes to a top rate of 39.5%

Will they report that Obama is "bending" on spending cuts?

They talk about the competitive mentality that has entered Congress. It seems to me the media promotes that bs.

When you get politicians finally compromising and you have the press calling a play by play as if it's a game, its time to shut the boob tube off.

If they don't reach an agreement, Obama may well wait until they are on Christmas leave, and enact an "emergency plan" that will let the taxes come back, and allow him to make cuts as he sees fit, for the next year.

I don't know if it will happen that way, but it could.

let them all expire, heck they were put in with the expectatio that they would expire in 10 years. the increased revenue means our debbt and ddeefecit will shrink. frankly the debt ceiling is fiction, when congress agrees to spend, there is no limit to what it could spend. we could spend, say 5 trillion a year..

we just do not want to be called out on our nations debt, that is what could ruin us. If the Country of China wants payed back, be prepared to learn the language.
