Not since the 2002 Iraq war initiative, has there been a more clear attempt to betray the interests of the American people than the current conservative efforts to permanently renew the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2%. Pelosi continues to serve us well!

Good, all the more reason to keep Nancy as the minority leader.The tax-cuts have been in effect for almost ten years now,cant see where its helped any. :thumbs:
<House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) signaled Friday she is not softening her opposition to extending the Bush-era tax cuts for high income earners.>
<"The problem comes," she said, "when an additional tax cut to the wealthy is two percent that will heap $700 billion in debt" upon the country's children.>
<"Those tax cuts have been effect for a very long time, they did not create jobs," she said, adding later, "From day one, President Obama and this Congress have been job creators.>

She has the balls to say that, after that freaking health care monstrosity is going to cost our countrys children? Unless the Repubs can get it repealed, oour great grandchildren will be paying for it.
She can kiss my hairy yellow ass.
Her track record for accuracy in quoting numbers is ****.
Seems a bit over the top. A lot has happened since 2002.
Be my guest, what other Congressional act has harmed this nation more since 2002 than the vote authorizing the president to start an unnecessary and costly war in the Middle East. Take your time, the graves of the men and women who died in that wasted effort aren't getting any colder than they already are.
But, Pelosi rightly points out that wasting $700 Billion on the wealthiest people won't bring us economic prosperity, it'll just saddle America with more debt, precisely what Republican leadership intends; they are villains.
Well in all fairness, there were some new taxes involved in paying for that bill. But no they didn't completly cover the cost.

Wrong, in the 10 year lifespan of the health care reform, CBO has stated that it will save hundreds of billions. Indeed, flat out repeal of the bill will create further federal debt.

Did Carter leave Reagan with a $10 trillion debt and 10% unemployment?I think the libs need a reminder of what success looks like. Then they can figure out which line Pelosi wants to extend :roll:
We don't have a taxing problem liberals, we have a spending problem. But I know, why do you care ? Its other people's money anyway !!!

Am suspecting that Pelosi and crew may lose some steam when the issue starts getting framed correctly. The topic at hand has nothing to with a "tax cut". What she (Pelosi) and her posse are pushing for is a 4% tax increase on the income group that provides all the jobs. And she wants to do it in the middle of bad economic/employment times.
The GOP will push to keep tax rates where they are. The Democrats are pushing for a notable tax rate increase. No "tax cuts"in the discussion.

The rich provide ALL the jobs? in what world?
maybe in the dark ages of Europe when we were mostly serfs and peasants who lived at the whim of royalty....
The average consumer is what drives the economy. There are the ones who need housing, food, clothing, etc. on a daily basis and they provide more jobs than the multi-millionaires.
