In reply to the discussion: Obama Sticks To His Guns [View all]Liberalynn
(7,549 posts)40. I saw ABC News
and they said we are likely to get just a bill on the tax issues and leave the spending cut talk until after the new Congress is seated. So does this mean the Chained CPI nonsense is at least off the table until then or is that part of the plan Obama thinks can pass Congress? I am hoping ABC is right and it is just going to be on extending the tax cuts to middle income families. Also I also hope it includes extending unemployment benefits. As far as cuts are concerned though the longer those discussions are put off the better. That way we have more time to rally against Chained CPI.

Yes. It is an old boy's club. These press conferences are just for our entainment.

sure is, because we need a vote to see how they are voting, then hold them accountable for it.

It is TPM's headline on their front page. Not Obama's word choice or the OP's. nt

I don't think we'll see the real list until after Boehner is re-elected Speaker on Jan 3.
