Obama now says he'll do executive order for immigration reform, yet tax reform on table

Does this mean he's willing to wager Medicare and Soc.Sec again?????

There are things we can do. Like raising the tax cap. Telling millionaires they don't need to collect. Or telling them to pay a little more and collect less.

Why is President Clinton, a multi millionaire on Medicare? He could easily purchase a private health policy. For HE got to eat donuts and Big Macs, but the rest of us should get a 6K a year voucher???

Why would he collect Soc Sec?

But we don't hear this. We hear of turning it into a 401K savings, a laughable plan without real Wall Street reform. Healthcare for profit will not do anything for Medicare. And, the latest study says it's very sound.

So, I'm very interested in what Obama means when he says "tax reform" when it comes to working with the repub senate and Mitch McConnell??????????????????

Because it seems to be the only things these monsters talk of reforming.

were EXTREMELY pissed off. Many declared ahead of time that they weren't going to vote this time around. Not only did we not gain any D seats in the Central Valley, we actually lost one - Jim Costa.
