total BULLSHIT... seems like you are the one spewing lies instead of Krugman >>>"First off, democrats had no problem going along with the tax cuts. In fact you could just as easy make the claim that it was the democrats fault for not standing united against the cuts!"<<< yeah, you can make the claim... you can also make the claim that the tooth fairy is real Republicans' use of reconciliation to pass President Bush's 2003 tax cut legislation. Only two Democrats voted for that bill -- one of whom, Georgia Sen. Zell Miller, doesn't really count, as he was a de facto Republican -- and Vice President Dick Cheney had to break a 50-50 tie. (Three Senate Republicans joined 46 Democrats and one independent in voting against the bill, which these days would be described as "bipartisan opposition.") And yet, in the weeks leading up to the reconciliation vote, the media didn't portray the Republicans as ramming tax cuts through Congress via unprecedented use of an obscure procedural gimmick to circumvent Senate rules. In fact, they didn't say much of anything at all about reconciliation. mediamatters.org
