The president is emphatic that taxes have to be raised. The president is adamant that we cannot make fundamental changes to our entitlement programs.

1. Bumping for Obama Justice

let me say this again

"In the end, we couldn't connect," Boehner wrote. "Not because of different personalities, but because of different visions for our country. The president is emphatic that taxes have to be raised. The president is adamant that we cannot make fundamental changes to our entitlement programs."

2. I hope people are listening even if they aren't

responding.

[Armstead]

9. So many mixed messages coming it's hard to respond to anything anymore

[Lorien]

3. That's not what he said this morning

he spoke of 'shared sacrifice" through cuts to social programs and paving the way for POSSIBLE ends to tax cuts for the rich in the future.

4. I just read this too.

Am more hopeful than I have been.

5. SO AM I. RAISE TAXES! the problem is Obama just lowered them in Decemeber for the rich.

6. Wish BHO's tax cuts would no longer be referred to as junior's 'cause the tax cuts, as the wars,

are now solely BHO's, as the economy will soon be unless aggressive progressive solutions, rather than economy-chocking RW solutions which inhibit the economy, jobs, and governmental revenues, are aggressively implemented across the board but: that seemingly ain't in the cards. :patriot:

7. Me to. We have a tax problem not a spending problem.

Just the opposite of what the pukes repeat in lockstep.

8. +1 those "job creators" can afford it nt

[Mimosa]

10. True.

How do the repugs expect our wars to be funded? Eventually the credit card bill has to be paid. And we need to change course and quit buying things we can't afford.
