In reply to the discussion: If Dems won the election, why is ANYONE talking about a 3:1 ratio of spending cuts/tax increases??? [View all]ReRe
(10,597 posts)Ye of so little faith! You had it right in the middle up there when you said "No." We're going over the proverbial cliff, yes, but we're going to be ok!!! Life is NOT going to end if those tax brakes for the rich expire at the end of the year. On New Year's Eve, twilight will come, night will fall, and when we wake up on New Year's Day, Viola' ! Poof ! :: The tax brake scheme that the wingers passed about 10 years ago WILL HAVE EXPIRED as they were designed to do. A little late, yes, because a bunch of dems were discouraged (and rightfully so, when Rahm smited our own base..... and oh yes, my family and I did vote in 2010) and skipped the 2010 midterm elections, giving the House back to the wingers. Bla, bla, bla, bla....I won't go on. It's going to be OK. The Repugs are not the owners of this country. Barack Obama was reelected, we have more Dems in the Sen & maintain the majority there, and we have allot of strong new Dem Reps in the House. (I can't think of all their names, but for now, just repeat
'Allen Grayson, Allen Grayson, Allen Grayson" over and over in your mind.)
Please have faith. Please.
