So there is no actual DRAFT of this Bill yet...?

[FirstLight]

So before I rant about the asinine qualities of this mess of a 'compromise'...What are the facts?

I have heard MORE dem congress critters saying they hate this than not, on various venues.
There is speculation that there won't be enough votes to pass it either.

So did the congress/house/senate actually go back to the drawing board?
what are they actually DOING to change the direction of this runaway fiscal disaster train?

That's what I want to know
and honestly, i would LOVE to see the dems in congress 'one-up' the President on principle.
maybe that would wake him up and help him realize he's missing the point of our angst.

Let the damn rates expire
Settle unemployment SEPARATELY - use the thumbscrews and finish it asap!
Stop using deficit as an excuse and get 'er DONE

ohh, yes...I am a dreamer, aren't I?

1. They're not going to "one up" on principle, because they are a diverse lot.

Some of them want to keep tax breaks for the wealthy. That's why there's a compromise now.

2. Hey...how about this....

No action on the tax situation until repeal of DADT, UI, etc. Two can play at this game...or at least they should.

3. ...well if you really want to know

I think all this talk about deficit is bullshit as long as we are involved in 2 WARS...

why are those we elected so freaking STUPID? the answers seem so easy and cut&dry to many of us...

but those pockets go deep and they are blinded by greed and selling out to the corps.
no matter what party it seems.
