[Stupid Fitz]

pfshoooo.  Glad that's over and we don't have to worry about it anymore. 

[ChiComCat]

Yup.  In the past, will never happen again.  Amazing when the parties work together!

So this means my taxes are not going up as I currently make less than 450k correct?

Besides the whole 2% SS thing that is expiring.

Yep, you are good.  No more worries.

Time to do your part, get with the program, pay more than your fair share. Have your accountants check that box to pay more than you owe. be patriotic. Good god man, have some compassion for the less fortunate!

Spending will continue. No significant cuts coming. Same old story

This ^^ really does capture the essence of his presidency.

I do enjoy listening to some libs still complaining about this bill. I mean, how much more of an asskicking/disaster could it have been?

You are probably too young to remember, but the Bush years were a joy for lib watching.

The democrats have made George W Bush's legacy of reducing taxes for the working class permanent. . .  and they don't even know it.

Pretty soon, when its time to cut spending, they'll realize they negotiated away all leverage for "revenue" and will see their crony special interest bullshit gouged. They're tickled.

This is hilarious.

"The core thing [the fiscal deal] says about [the Republicans] is that they want to reform entitlements and cut spending, but they can’t actually propose any plans to do these things because it would be politically unpopular. This is a terrible problem for them,"

This is why I would assign blame roughly evenly.
