Extending Bush's tax cuts for 2 years is worse than making them permanent

[GOTV]

The GOP is going to completely play the Obama admin again.

"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reiterated on Thursday that the president will be open to extending the upper-end Bush tax cuts for one or two years as part of a broader compromise with Republicans."

The GOP will act conciliatory in accepting a two year extension for now because they would just love for the specter of tax increases to come to a head again during the presidential election.

He should deal with them now. Kill them, make them permanent or make only some of them permanent now and take it off the table for the next election.
