Dismissed out of hand by boehner because of any tax increases, even though it includes entitlement reductions. Predictable even though it Pissed off a lot of libs.

Wish BO would go big on entitlement reform- push back ss benefits a couple years, include means testing, go single payer and cut dod in half.

And people will still call this dude a Marxist or socialist, he's a fucking republican.

But they are not and that is the reality of it.

How about capping IRAs? The government has no right telling someone how much money than can save for their retirement.

What they need to do is stop the Obama and Biden family vacations. For people that think the wealthy are evil, they sure like to live it up like the uber rich they claim to despise.

Obama has more leverage because the majority of the American people can see that he is extending an olive branch to the Republicans, and in a very public way, by conceding cuts to entitlements in return for closing loopholes that only the super rich get to enjoy and for corporations like Exxon/Mobil. If the Republicans slap his hand away it will only re-inforce the narrative that Republicans are simply obstructionists which could, and probably would, lead to the Dems taking back the House of Representatives in 2014.

The sequester will have negative effects down the road....not to the extent Obama said of course, but if these guys cannot make a budget deal to replace the sequester cuts it could hamper growth in the third and fourth quarters.

The democrats won't take take back the house because the republicans have gerrymandered to the point where they can't lose many, many districts.

Come on dude, you know better than that. They all gerrymander like a mofo. Not a republican thing or a democrat thing. It's a politician thing.
