Nov 2012

heard Social Security was off the table from someone that was in the meeting. The people who was in the meeting is pleased with what they heard apparently, so I think they have their supporters best interests in mind.

They also said if the Republicans don't deal, then they are going to keep the campaign going. We won a major battle in the election but the war isn't over. The Republicans think they are in a position to dictate terms to the President but if they do,then they don't understand the political environment they are in. Think of it as the counter to the Tea Party movement.

We'll go off the cliff and the Bush tax cuts will end. They have been offered a Deal to extend tax cuts for 98 percent of the people, but if they refuse, the next campaign will hang it around their necks. We will take it into 2014. THey need to understand the country did not elect President Obama to just implement Mitt Romney's or their Policies. President Obama was elected on his Policies. They must think we are Dumb. They are not in a position to dictate anything.

Extending those tax cuts will not grow any jobs but just line the pockets of the rich more. Getting rid of loopholes also touch the middle class and small businesses but want hurt the wealthy much. They couldn't add the math with Romney, why do the GOP Congress think they can do it when their own Presidential candidate couldn't do it? The Republicans are just doing a tap dance and being dishonest.
