'So, you will admit that eliminating the tax cuts would have furthered the economic crisis?'

Not if only on the wealthy, which is what Obama wants to do. Only the (R)'s, the PARTY of the wealthy, prevent him.

So, you will admit that eliminating the tax cuts would have furthered the economic crisis? That's progress.


I don't think it would have and I said so then...but the political climate in DC clearly didn't want to take that risk.

Then WHY did he do it?

Are you asking me to remind you or you just don't know? C'mon man...lame duck session compromises shake some cobwebs in your brain?

Does requiring 60 votes to override a filibuster mean anything to you?? Without the blackmail of 60 votes the R's would not let anything pass....unless they got their tax cut.
