    No wonder he doesn't give a shit about others paying more. Red does stick to his beliefs. I'd like to sit around a campfire with a 5th of turkey singing coombya and talking about the meaning of life with his old ass. It'd be like Why r we here? Ehere r we going? What the fuk were u thinking? Then get real drunk and go egg the White House.

    FULL ANSWER
    An email is circulating that lists specific “Republican budget cuts” that could save the U.S. $2.5 trillion over 10 years. The list is real. The cuts are contained in legislation — the Spending Reduction Act of 2011 — sponsored by Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and cosponsored by 32 others.

    So, yes, the list of “Republican budget cuts” is real. But historically it has been difficult to make such deep cuts in the budget, and some of the proposed cuts go further than even the Republican leaders so far have been willing to support.

    Read it and claim whatever you would like, but you are not a moderate if you keep trying to defend this shit.

    how is this Obamas fault, do you know the origin of the tax increase, certainly you are smarter than this. To blindly blame someone without research, matter of fact I know you are smarter. This payroll tax cut was done 2 years ago. Neither side fought to extend it this time around, it was a temporary cut, that probably shouldnt have been done in the first place.

    The tax was cut from 6.2 to 4.2% 2 yrs ago. Part of the fiscal cliff negotiations did away with the %2 decrease. Boehner should've held his ground at $1 million.

    But both republicans and democrats wanted this tax to go up. This was only meant to be a temp cut during an extraordinary period. I like the tax deal the congress made but obviously, I'm not a fan of the spending cuts or lack thereof. On top of that Obama is saying that taxes are still on the table. That's pretty chickensh*t in my opinion.

    This had nothing to do with the fiscal cliff deal wasnt even apart of it. Neither side wanted to keep this tax cut.
