They didn't want to increase taxes with no meaningful cuts in spending. boehner finally caved because of all the pressure he was getting given the lies in the press. Why anyone would be surprised at this is beyond me. I'm sure the White House doesn't like it because the taxes and spending aren't enough to get us to Greece fast enough for them. [/quote] where the fuck were you people when W was spending us into oblivion while pillaging the US treasury? billions of your tax dollars handed out to his buddies, tax rates lowered for the richest 2% and you still love him, fucking sheeple, really tired of your left/right bullshit.

The "fiscal cliff" deal that was designed to save money actually includes $330.3 billion in new spending over the next decade, according to the official estimate the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday afternoon.
CBO said the bill contains about $25.1 billion in new cuts, but those are swamped by the new spending on extended unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless and other new refundable tax credits that President Obama fought for.
Of those cuts, only $2 billion are scheduled to take effect in 2013.
