There was a thread recently talking about a "formal" adjournment. |

If you want actual governance then start voting in actual real people from the private sector, the way Congress was intended to be, instead of career hack politicians. |

Then the new Congress sworn in in January, will pass new tax cuts, with the help of Democrats in the House, the Democrat controlled Senate, and signed by President Obama. The tax cuts to be forever known as the "Obama tax cuts". If you can't see this coming, you've been watching too much Foxnews. And are following your tea party faction, beholden to the weathiest 1/5th of 1% of Americans who make over $1 million per year, who couldn't possibly withstand the indignity of a 3% increase in their tax rate. The Republicans are a bigger joke than ever right now. Bring on the Obama tax cuts!!! |

| WAKEUPAMERICA01 User ID: 30489425 United States12/22/2012 09:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So what we go over the fiscal cliff. The players from both sides want to play the savior and be the good guys. Well we all know both sides are two sides of the same coin doing their masters bidding and we the people are the ones that suffer from their greed, lack of intelligence and failure to lead by example. To the AC that has been bashing the republicans all morning, you still believe that the demons are your savior and will tow the co. line till the end won't you. shilly troll WAKE UP AMERICA  WAKE UP AMERICA "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.

Dont get me wrong, I feel the President has played Boehner like a Stradivarius, with the medias help. As much as I disagree with the AC's above tone, and blind rhetoric, he does have a distinct point. BTW...what makes MSNBC or CNN, or any of the other "news" organizations any more or less biased than FOX? IMHO, at least FOX tries to present both sides, and the Lib/Progressive guests get a say and arent shouted down and called morons like the opposition are on lets say...MSNBC.

The WTF is all these weeks of secret and not so secret meetings with the Executive hmmmmm? Of course the House needs to pass a Bill, which they have on several occasions, but it still needs to get through the Senate, which the Senate majority leader has publically spoken that any House Bill is DOA in his chamber...but again, no harsh words toward him and his fellow Democrat hostage takers, who havent passed a budget bill in over 4 years....and then the President needs to sign it. Trust me, I dont needs a civics lesson, and know how things are supposed to work. I am just asking for a little fairness here.

Let everyone's taxes go through the roof. Especially the poor who will be paying 50% more. (Bush's tax cuts helped the poor more then the wealthy.) Then we can see what happens when the demoncrats get what they wanted.    |
| WAKEUPAMERICA01 User ID: 30489425 United States12/22/2012 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When was the last time a federal budget was passed and they actually worked within their own constraints of that budget? They pass more laws and regulations that do nothing more than try to bring in more revenue for the programs that are insolvent. Taxes are a problem, spending is a problem, the revenue is a problem. The more that is given or taken the more that is borrowed and spent.
