(Community Matters) I’m gonna get over it but we’re making a colossal mistake. My hope now rests with Congressional Democrats to stop this lunacy. Over the last 10 years, Republicans have perfected saying one thing and doing another. They slashed taxes during a time of war and engaged in deceptive accounting by keeping war costs off budget turning surpluses into the largest deficit since WWII.
Now, we’re complicit, knowingly extending tax cuts for the wealthiest – projected to cost $700B over the next ten years. We know it is fiscal lunacy, but, we’re agreeing to it.
Isn’t it worth it worth a compromise to preserve tax cuts for the middle class? extend unemployment benefits? allow the Senate to move forward on the repeal of Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell and ratification of the START treaty?
