In reply to the discussion: Has Anyone Else On DU Noticed This Lately? [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)241. Really? ...
you are also the guy who thought that "making 85% of the Bush tax cuts permanent" was a huge victory for Obama.
I could have sworn there was a hell of a lot more to that deal than just making 85% of the bush tax cuts permanent? Who knew?
Do you think that the raising of the debt ceiling, the extension of Federal U/C, the continued funding of the social safety net programs, might be what they were referring to as the victory ... and the making the tax cuts, including those that you currently enjoy, permanent was the cost for that victory?
