So I will put you and others in this thread in the category - no tax deal with repubs and during a very bad time economically for millions of Americans simply allow taxes to go up on the middle class and the lowest tax bracket and no UI benefits for 13 months. This is a suicidal way to go about this...no president sho is serious about governing could ever choose this option.
