"Well considering the fact that dems had majorities in both houses and the presidency, why didn't they do something about it." 41 R's can, and do, stop everything. This is nonsense. How did Obamacare pass?

There was a time when they had 60 and they did nothing to address these issues. It wasn't until late in the 2nd year that Scott Brown won. So far as I know Obama's only tax proposal is to increase the tax rate for those earning over 250K to the old tax rates. If I am not mistaken about 4%. You are an intelligent person. Without severe cuts in the budget that might pay for about a week of spending. We still have a huge deficit. Obama has no solution that he is willing to declare. I guarantee that if he wins. The solution will be taxes on everybody to pay for his prolific spending. In fact I believe that the dems are deliberately hiding from the American people what they really intend. That is why they wont pass a budget in the Senate. lj
