Even Elizabeth Warren has expressed the same concern MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #9

to be fair, obama has self identified his policies as "moderate republican" msongs Jan 2015 #10

More than 80% of the Bush tax cuts were made permanent MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #19

"more than 80% of the Bush tax cuts" geek tragedy Jan 2015 #26

The vast bulk of the 82% of the remaining Bush tax cuts MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #37

So does every tax cut on lower and middle income taxpayers, due to this concept geek tragedy Jan 2015 #41

Seems like you don't have a good grasp on this. MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #45

Do you do much academic work? geek tragedy Jan 2015 #46

I wrote a college textbook that sold quite nicely MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #70

So you need to get paid in order to back your claims up and engage geek tragedy Jan 2015 #73

And again, you clearly don't know what was - and was not - in the deal. nt MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #74

How can he "make Hell rain down" on Netanyahu, branford Jan 2015 #29

Little bit of difference here. Aerows Jan 2015 #32

I think that's a little nit-picky and disingenuous. branford Jan 2015 #34

Is that link to a proposal made by President Obama? MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #97

It never got out of committee. joshcryer Jan 2015 #99
