Franken wasn't seated until July 8. Brown was elected 1/19/10. I want mild cuts...300B from the military and all subsidies for Gas, Oil, Plutonium; coal, too. Time for Exxon to build a navy to protect its tankers. = "I guarantee that if he wins. The solution will be taxes on everybody to pay for his prolific spending" That's winger speak for "If you don't give richies a break, we'll let the Obama tax cuts expire for everybody." Been there, done that already; House won't pass this. Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:54pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats in the Senate on Wednesday won passage of a bill to renew tax cuts for tens of millions of Americans, while letting some rates rise for the wealthiest, in a largely symbolic vote. The legislation, certain to be rejected by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, lets Democrats claim in advance of the November 6 elections that they passed tax cuts for most Americans, only to be stymied by Republicans. "It's time for House Republicans to drop their demand for another $1 trillion giveaway to the wealthiest Americans," Obama said in a statement after the vote. The Senate rejected a Republican alternative with the help of two Republicans. That bill would have extended the lower rates for all income levels, including earnings above the $250,000 threshold. reuters.com
