Stop trying to stall and kick the issue down the road, and do your damn jobs. Give the dems the tax increases they want, give the pubs the spending cuts they want.
Many economists think that would ensure that we will see the current crappy economy continue for another decade. Why do you think it would solve the problem?
Economists are a dime a dozen and i can google and find ones that both agree and disagree with tax hikes and spending cuts.
I think we need to increase revenue and cut spending and we need congress to compromise to get it down. Business' want stability, in order to know how to spend their money they need to know what taxes are going to look like in the next 5-10 years not just 6 months or a year down the line. Continuing to keep everything exactly how it is and postpone the issue over and over doesn't solve anything and it leaves all Americans unsure.
Give a bipartisan map of the next 15 years, cut spending and raise taxes slowly over that period of time, add in the debt ceiling increase so we don't have another credit reduction and you will see the economy grow.
I actually think I could get behind this. It's definitely the uncertainty that's hurting the economy the most right now. Even if the solution takes from certain bottom lines, at least people know where they stand and can move forward with a plan for the future.
