Obama alters fiscal cliff deal ; demands double in tax hikes

[AuH20]

I wonder what Ron Paul would do if he was speaker? I have a feeling Ron would just walk out and say "best of luck to you, Mr. President. You're the most prominent face of the government not me."

I wish that Republicans would tell Obama it will pass only if legislation is attached that allows states to opt out of obamacare.

The can is almost too heavy to kick.

These scumbags won't even cut a single dime to pay for the increasing service on the current debt. So they hide behind this well-concocted lie that the rich must pay their share for the sake of the poor and middle class. Someone needs to call them out on this fiction. This is a tax hike for the continued maintenance of the bloated empire, not some goodwill charity effort.

How about opting out of the Union?

Haha, that would be great! Give Obama all the tax increses he wants, sky is the limit BUT States must be given the option of opting out of the Union. Realistically though, I think pushing the health care opt-out might actually work.
