its to bad that the HNIC has to have is way on tax increases so since I'm a business owner and employ about 60 people there's going to be about 10 more to join the uneployed, but thats the way it is

I did not see ANYTHING about reduced spending, if that is the case, it will never pass the House

Fiscal cliff deal reach around.

I am reasonably certain that Turdfly voted for GW twice. For the record, I know with 100% certainty that I voted against Dub both times.

As for the Fiscal Cliff deal, it has now passed the Senate by an 89-8 margin. Next step, the House of Representatives. Stay tuned? Who in the hell knows what those wacky, Tea Sipping Republicans, in the House will do? We do know that Boehner is not a very effective Speaker. He doesn't seem to have much control over the Republicans in the House, much less the House Democrats.

There is no better word to describe the current House of Representatives than wacky! That is why the next Congress will not have as many wacky obstructionists as the current Congress. Indeed, this past election sent a clear and distinct message. The message from the November 6, 2012 election was that wacky, knee-jerk reactions from obstructionists should be held to an absolute minimum!

We tried it the George W. Bush way for the better part of the past 12 years. It is now time for America to put the failed economic and foreign policies of the George W. Bush Administration behind us once and for all, so that we can finally begin to move forward.
