lol ted, you have to let the TarBaby go, he is the problem.... whitehouse.gov Today, the Senate passed with strong bipartisan support a bill that’s a win for American families, American businesses, and our economic recovery. This vote brings us one step closer to ensuring that middle class families across the country won’t have to worry about a massive tax hike at the end of the year. It would offer hope to millions of Americans who are out of work that they won’t suddenly find themselves without the unemployment insurance they need to make ends meet as they fight to find a job. And it would offer additional tax relief to families across the country and encourage businesses to grow and hire. I know that not every Member of Congress likes every piece of this bill, and it includes some provisions that I oppose. But as a whole, this package will grow our economy, create jobs, and help middle class families across the country. As this bill moves to the House of Representatives, I hope that members from both parties can come together in a spirit of common purpose to protect American families and our economy as a whole by passing this essential economic package. cbsnews.com The president said the bill ultimately reflected "a good deal for the American people."

>> "Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act." You can post this crap 20 times, but if you read the report -- something I know you're not capable of doing, since yo have never read a book in the last ten years -- there is one overriding point that comes through: There is a lack of political will to cut expenses. Any person who understands numbers can see that these issues aren't solve by raising taxes. You may change things somewhat, but at the end of the day, you have to eliminate Medicare and SS as they now exist or you are not going to solve this problem.

Dumbfukk: You are setting a false dichotomy.... There is not need to raise revenues if spending is reduced to reasonable levels.

I just love pointing out that Obama and the Dem Congress EXTENDED the Bush era tax rates just 8 mos ago: Obama and the Dems have been willing to do both spending cuts and revenue increases like letting the Bush tax cuts expire It's so funny to see that people like Ted can't admit that.

Ted, John Chambers, being interviewed by Cavuto this morning, had the question put to him: "They cut 2 trillion; that wasn't enough. If it had been 4 trillion, would that have done it?" His answer was lengthy, but revenue was never mentioned. Not once. He said, in essence, "4 trillion would have done it -- provided you get back to a reasonable growth scenario. The Ryan plan would have done it. But 2 trillion in cuts aren't enough." Consider your argument shot down.

From day one, Obama and the Dems have been willing to do both spending cuts and revenue increases No just revenue increases. They never have proposed or supported or accepted broad spending cuts. Every now and then they talk about support cuts which are nothing of the sort, merely slow downs in the rates of growth, and very modest ones at that, and then when the Republicans propose something along those lines they represented as pushing Grandma off the cliff.
