One thing that will turn this economic picture around will be the tax cuts proposed by the GOP.

especially moron, he is only thinking of himself & his kids by getting rid of the inheritance tax. If he has to screw the whole country to benefit himself, he will do it.

they were also extended in 2010 rather then letting them sunset.

Frankly I think that the party is afraid to oppose tax cuts. I'm sure that there are vulnerable red state seats where incumbent Democrats would have be in danger if they oppose them.

The party needs to change the narrative on tax cuts.
