If Dems won the election, why is ANYONE talking about a 3:1 ratio of spending cuts/tax increases???

29. Some

people on here make the mistake Republicans will have the upper hand in 2014. If they don't do something,they will lose more seats if the Dems show up in 2014. These so called Dems also need to pay attention to Demographics. It is still in play. You can no longer continue to placate to one portion of the country.

You can't dismiss the Labor Unions or the organizations that represent the common people either. Sure the President invited Business leaders to the white house, but in my opinion, this group has been writing the country's laws all along and that is who Congress has been catering to once they get common people's vote. That has been the case with President's also.

This group has always had the ability to create jobs but their primary concern seems to be more individual profits. When you see someone like Governor Rendell pushing for the interests of this group and not even mentioning the groups that represent working people, there is a problem with this. Common people essentially get shut out of the process once these people running for office gets their votes. Then you hear all this talk about cutting spending while lowering more taxes for businesses that shirk their obligations to create jobs for individual profits. Yeah, we do need to be business friendly but business need to understand they need to invest in people also. There would be less spending, if these people create jobs. There is no reason they can't in this environment instead of hording wealth to buy luxuries. This is similar to the NBA owners against the players ,just on a smaller scale. Maybe the Union of Businesses need to break up in order to get something done.
