That didn't take long, either. Old Yellowstain folds on higher taxes.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” -- Samuel Adams

Republicans are about as useless as the socialists at this point.

I decided to look at this in a positive light, Boner is going to give O'bummer enough rope to hang himself with to show that taxing the "RICH" will NOT get this country out of the sh!thole of debt it is in due to the "Drunken Sailor" spending of the administration we are stuck with for 4 more years.

THe debt is so huge that soon even paying the interest will be beyond the tax payers ability.

There are only two recourses:

1) Hyper inflation to erradicate the 'value' of the debt

2) Repudiation of the soverign debt and its disposal as rotten leavings.


Nothing else is possible.

The faster h this occurs the more of the physical infrastructure will be left to be used in the next phase - recovery.

I just love how he's missing in action for weeks and shows up just in time to "compromise", but he's on our side. Sure he is. He's owned and so are most of them, especially when it counts.

I normally abbreviate this but in this case, he's a piece of shit traitor. But that's probably a point of view that is too extreme for most.

Boehner says - let's talk taxes.
Reid says - let's talk limited filibuster.
Obama says - let's talk gun control.

Obama garnered 105 fewer votes than in the previous election. He was vulnerable.

Romney garnered 2 million fewer votes than McCain in an environment ripe with anti-Obama fervor.

Romney failed to court the tea party. Romney failed to go on the offense over Benghazi. Romney failed.

The republican old boys club - next man up... Hasn't worked in a long time. Time for a change.

Republicans are in a position to demand reduced govt spending / govt wages / govt benefits. Go ahead and tax the rich, but knock the tar out of govt spending. Taxes from rich won't amount to a hill of beans - but the spending has got to be driven downwards NOW.

Anticipatory surrender is the default Republican position.
