This is so fundamentally wrong...
For one that apparently thinks for himself, I can't believe you are letting the rest of the libs think for you on this one...
Why don't you delve a little bit more on what you're so upset about.
Here's what I've gathered:
Obama wanted to bring in $1.2 trillion in taxes and cut $800 billion in spending and focus tax revenue on those making $250k or more.
Boehner said make it $1 trillion in taxes and $1 trillion in spending (only $200 billion more) and put more emphasis on $1 million or more for tax revenue.
Obama AGREED to it and the Republicans couldn't get it passed.
I'm going Bottomfeeder on this one though. I think they both wanted it to fail. Taxes go up on EVERYBODY and now Obama can point his finger at the Republicans and Republicans can point their finger at Obama. Spending cuts happen. For the Dems, the defense budget gets cut and gains are taxed at a higher rate. The economy recedes making unemployment go up. The Dems seem to love catering to the welfare crowd, and Republicans can now point at Democrats for the state of the economy.
But gun control is the #1 issue of our time because of one incident at a school. Great day to be an American.
