The tpers will find a way to fork it up. Just because they can.
This is a sign that this country needs President Sarah Palin. Only she has the power from God Herself to completely fix this fiscal mess. She will drive our national debt and debt ceiling down to ZERO. President Palin will cut across the entire board and balance the budget in her 1st year. She will create greater surpluses than Clinton with less taxes than Dubya in her remaining 7 years. Her successor Michelle Bachmann will continue the great work President Palin will do and maintain the surpluses.
Lovely! Oh well, like everything else out of Washington for the last 30 years, this deal will accomplish the following: make the rich richer, make the middle class poorer and make the poor, well, who cares about them, they're only poor because they're lazy. Capitalism is eating itself by killing off demand and I'm loving it every time some ignorant hick here in the red states loses his home or retirement. Keep voting corporatist, teabaggers.

OBAMA AND REID CAVED. THEY DID NOT GET ANY REVENUE OUT OF THE DEAL TO APPLY TO JOB STIMULATION
Shame on you Mr. President! Shame on you Senator! The world just watched Tea Party Republicans force you to fold like a house of cards. Why would any world leader respect any of you when you draw the line in the sand for revenue, but then let the Tea Party Republicans chump you down like a school kid who gives over his lunch money.
Both of you have lost the respect of a lot of Independents and do not expect my vote this November 2012. I might as well vote Tea Party Republican since the both of you been doing their bidding since 2010.
