toward fixing the government's long-term financial problems." Hell, they aren't even trying to hide their planned theft of the surplus.

Gee, do you think you might want to keep the deficit mess in mind when you look at renewing the f**king income and estate tax cuts next month!!!!! Or is it just easier to steal from the middle class, assholes???

:nuke:

5. Can't get it past and the democrats are obstructing!!! Please...

If you're so afraid its of your own damn doing.

Let's just go around the rules once and for all, get the special counsel prosecutor and put all these bastards on record. They're sniveling cowardly weasels when confronted up front.
