wrong, not according to house republicans. they were voting against the cliff because not raising taxes on low and middle income would add trillions to the deficit. straight from your republican minority leaders mouth. so they thought it had something to do with it.
MY Republicans? The Republicans are also the majority in the house, not the minority. They are not MY Republicans, I want nothing to do with them OR the Democrats.
I also don't care what they say, either party, spending more than is taken in is the problem. Don't have enough to cover every department and or program? Close them down. Start with the Dept of ED, EPA, SBA, Commerce and BATFE. THEN start cutting back, weaning so to speak, on unEARNED benefits. Cut back EARNED benefits only as a last resort.
