The Republicans are now happy - for awhile. President Obama has caved to the GOP by extending the Bush tax rates for another two years. What ever happened to not "
kicking the can down the road"? True, unemployment benefits got extended and the Social Security tax was lowered by 2% for one year, but at what price? The rich got a big piece of cake, while everyone else got crumbs.
So much for the debt commission. They recommended a combination of tax raises and spending cuts to get our debt crisis solved. For the near future, I see neither happening. What we need now is the Wizard of Oz to give congress a heart, a brain, and above all else, some courage. Or maybe, we just need a
King who already has those qualities. Know anyone????
Or you could administer a swift kick to the nuts. Just saying.
