The Buffett Rule/Student Loans/And the Deceitfulness of Obama

given the fact that the revenue lost from the bush cuts is close to three tims the cost of both wars and our social programs combined, I think it will make a difference ... short of totally eliminating the entire republican party I dont imagine we'll ever know.

Liberals will never understand that there is a limit on how much even the US can borrow and spend. Their mantra is print more money. China says no. What will happen when China says enough is enough. Then maybe the liberals can tell us what enough is.

the issue is on the one hand he wants to pass the Buffett rule while at the same time he wants to pander to his supposed voting block by spending elsewhere

obviously his care is not to help the deficit, as he will galling tax here and galling spend there, then what can his care regarding the buffett rule be? punish people?
