The Tax Deal: Republican Leadership Still In the Wilderness

They did it again. They went wobbly. The Republican leadership doesn’t believe in the message the voters sent just a mere 5 weeks ago. They just proved it by agreeing to more big spending and more nanny statism. One begets the other as history proves. It works the same way at the top of the Republican party.

Tea Party folks and conservatives just got poked in the eye. Again. Get used to it.
Modified Chicken Crap. . . that is what this tax deal between Obama and the ruling elite Republicans amounts to.....

Playing With the Two Immutable Laws of Washington

Posted by Erick Erickson (Profile)

For months, the GOP has said they would never vote to raise taxes and will now vote to raise taxes by resurrecting the death tax instead of killing it — the only reason being Jon Kyl (R-AZ) wanted to bring it back and has held this position for a while.

For months, both sides have claimed they were committed to saving social security. Instead, they will cut the payroll tax thereby bringing the bankruptcy of social security even closer.

We will know who the real conservatives are in Congress. They’ll be the Republicans who oppose this deal.

But hey, it is bipartisan!

Maybe we can get Jeff Flake to primary Jon Kyl .

The difference is that the middle class will put their tax cuts back into the economy. The uber- rich keep socking it into their money- caves. They will buy more toys, but they will not create jobs. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE!

This Boston Globe story says $4 trillion cost for all tax cuts with $700 billion for top 2%. So, $3.3 trillion.
