Senate Republicans and a handful of Democrats Saturday defeated a bill to reauthorize unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless and a plethora of tax provisions for the middle class not because of the bill's trillion-dollar deficit impact, but because it did not include tax cuts for the rich.

"In economic times like these, 9.8 percent unemployment, you should not raise taxes on anyone," Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told HuffPost.

1. Tax cuts up to 1000000 still not good enough. I say F%*& it all and let them expire.

Then there will be no BUSH tax cuts at all and if anyone wants tax cuts they will be OBAMA tax cuts.
