In reply to the discussion: Boehner To Obama: No, You Tell Dems To Pass Our Tax Bill [View all]Jeff In Milwaukee
(13,992 posts)37. What he should do...
Keep talking about compromise, but firm on raising taxes on the 1%. And as much as it causes a grand mal freak-out on DU, he should even hint and compromising on entitlements. Not to worry, Boehner will never get the votes to raise taxes, so any "tweaks" are just for show.
In the meantime, go off the fiscal cliff. Make all the Bush tax cuts expire. The beauty is that we'll rid ourselves of a hideously bad fiscal policy, and the Republicans will take the blame. And once they start feeling the heat, Obama and the Democrats can THEN restore those tax cuts that benefit the middle class.
