See, right away he thinks the answer is borrowing more to get out of a jam rather then finding ways to cut and save the money to pay for it.

By rescinding the tax cuts we are getting a tax increase, which will show
up as an increased payroll holding deduction in Jan when we can least afford it as
Christmas gift bills are due.

With the economy teetering on the abyss, this is no time to raise
any one's taxes rather then re-introduce the class warfare card.

I don't think the politicians still got the message from the election
where the American people voted for smaller gov, reducing the deficit,
and less taxes.

no, the voters were just angry and irrational and scared and really had no idea what they were voting for...thus the huge screw up...oh, and if Obama had just articulately explained the values of his policies better, everyone would have fallen right into line, or in some cases..on their knees.....

Ah. So if voters disagree with liberals, it necessarily means they are being irrational. i know that's what Obama thinks, he said so. It's a very elitist thing to think.

As Obama was so fond of saying after he got sworn in, "elections have consequences". Funny how he isn't saying that anymore.
