I believe Obama has endorsed the bi-partisan debt commission recommendations.
REALLY??.... I guess that explains the insane budget that he produced after receiving the debt commission recommendations
While they're attacking Carney for not outlining an "Obama Plan" I'm not sure it makes any sense the Administration to do so.
If Obama is so bleepin' brilliant..surely he has a plan and would like to share..
Obama has already given consent to very deep spending cuts in exchange for increase revenues.
NAME ONE "VERY DEEP CUT".............."
GIVEN CONSENT"???...
The
Tea Party faction of the GOP has got our economy by the balls and even the House Leader can't control the situation.
HUH??????? REALLY???
Boehner misses cuts target, delays deficit vote - politics - Capitol Hill - msnbc.com

I think this is exactly the point, and why Obama has called for spending cuts along with increases in tax revenues.
OBAMA calls for a lot..and is usually lying....let's make a list starting with civility
Given our situation we need to look at EVERY avenue available to get on a sustainable trajectory. House freshman who all signed "no tax" pledges to gain early party backing are in my opinion taking an position that threatens our national security.
EWWWW...that is so pathetic...
For more senior House and Senate leadership to be opposing any revenue increases as a matter of principal should go back to their own voting records which document how they've contributed to the deficits we are now facing!
BECAUSE????....oh...then they would understand the need for massive cuts, reduced spending etc....
Hell, even Reagan increased taxes 16 times during his presidency in an attempt to offset excessive spending.
No, Reagan was promised reductions in spending by the Democrats at a 3 to 1 clip to the tax increases that they were requesting I believe and the Dems renegged on the reductions but got their higher taxes which is why cuts must come first
This fact seems to get lost when the Right likes to proclaim he brought about the growth of the 1990's. Note: It was probably more a product of low oil prices and the invention of the Personal Computer
I have trouble finding facts in anything that you produce
We can't solve this problem through spending cuts alone, and contrary to the assertion that the Bush Tax Cuts increased revenues...well, I think there plenty of analysis that shows they didn't.
great pastes...nice try

got any "real" substantiation for your claims???
And tragically, we also know that the mid-decade boom from 2003-2008 was being driven not by stable growth but rather a real estate bubble about to pop.
is that what Barney Frank and the FANNIE FREDDIE bunch were warning us about during that time???
Reality check...
Real wages continue to lag inflation for several decades now. Wealth generation appears to be more a product of speculation than productivity in the marketplace. Overall taxation in this country is at an historic low and effective tax rates allow the top earners to pay far below the top brackets while they bemoan progressive taxation (Warren Buffett excluded
). The wealth gap continues to grow. We have 15 trillion USD in Federal debt...and the topic of short-term revenue generation through taxation is OFF THE TABLE?
If I had a friend in a similar situation I'd tell them to stop going to Starbucks every morning and get a second job.
I hope he'd tell you to mind your own business
I'd love for us to spend less and tax less, I'd also like every day to be Christmas, but there's
the way it ought to be and then the way it is.
yeah, probably not possible to spend less and tax less
