Restore the Republic
If I were Boehner, I would be afraid to negotiate with our President too
Boehner first came in ready to accept the deal Obama had offered in 2011. Obama told him that he had already turned that one down and it was no longer on the table
Boehner next asked for $800 billion in tax cuts and Obama told him he already had that with or without Boehner
So Boehner ran away from the table and fell on his face with a hopeless Plan B
Can Boehner be embarassed any further?
Republicans wanted to protect 100% of us from tax increases.
After negotiation, they were able to protect 99.4% of us from tax increases.
It was a nice win for Republicans who were in a rather unwinnable position.
Now that the 'middle class' got theirs, (human nature being what it is) they will support the arguments to cut freeloading as long as they as it does not affect them.
Republicans are in a MUCH stronger minority position now. This was a defacto win.
Leftards and their complict media spin to the contrary, and conservative butthurt certainly plays right into their hands.
As long as we have a large group of Americans who believe they can
(1) simply get what they want from the Federal Government
(2) believe they don't have to a necessarily work for it, we are simply "entitled" to our share
(3) someone else must make the sacrifice as well as foot the bill
..... trying to find ANY spending cuts that a "give me" mentality feels they somehow deserves won't be significant enough to bring us back from the brink of economic disaster. No, our debt will continue to climb dispute all the added tax hikes.
