Krugman: We Are Not Having A Serious Discussion, Obamacare Edition

[hfojvt]

21. well thank goodness we are having a serious discussion

Admittedly, the evil side is clever. They pass the tax cut for the rich when the tax cut for the rich is already in play.

That way they can SPIN it, as NOT being a tax cut for the rich.

The bottom line is, that taxes for the top 5% were automatically going to go up by $1.9 trillion and a bill was passed to CUT that tax increase DOWN to just $600 billion.

Well that bill, even though you and others may claim you do not understand it, was a tax CUT for the rich, of $1.3 trillion over the next decade.

And if 2008 proved anything, it is likely that cat will NEVER be put back into the bag.

Before Obama, the Bush tax cuts had an expiration date. After Obama, they are permanent.

That's gotta be "change you can believe in."

Or something.

Oh, and drivel right back at you.
