Poll: Debt ceiling deal should include cuts and tax increases

I have a better idea. We could stop wasting money on such crap as training poor people to perform non-existant green jobs and after all that waste is taken care of, then we can see if there is still a need to raise taxes.

Your short-sighted plan meets my expectations for you apdst! :sun
 
Are those the same polls the Libbos were using last year to insist that people wanted taxes raised?

Nope, all 19 polls were taken since January of this year! :sun
 
I seriously doubt that the people are willing to raise taxes any more than they were 8 months ago.

However, that's not how it works. They may well support something you don't, and you doubting it wouldn't make it any less true.
 
Just wondering if your taxes are going up with the tax hikes that you insist we have, or are you just talking about other peoples's money?

Why would that matter unless you want to start making the discussion a personal one?

Curious to know what you have invested in the scheme. And, if your taxes aren't going to go, what are you going to do when the government after your money?

Except, I'm in serious doubt that the American people overwhelmingly support raising taxes. I think that notion nothing more than Libbo-ganda.

Why are curious if it has nothing to do with this discussion of the issues, unless you want to make this discussion personal?

Of course they don't. They were just playing with the pollsters. All 19 times. :roll:
 
They haven't. Obama has said he will veto any extension of the tax cuts for people making more than 250k

Back in December, he said that raising taxes would be the worst thing to do, during a recession.

BTW, 250 g's for couples; 200 g's for individuals. Get your facts straight.

So, you admit that the polls are bull**** and not a true reflection of the pulse of the country?

They are what they are, as limited as it is, but a single snapshot of a majority on an issue. This can change rapidly, or slowly. Another time might get another result. And polls tell us nothing about right wrong, true ot false.
 
We're not? How do you explain how the unemployment rate went up?

Perhaps this will help you:

Recession - "A significant decline in activity across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. It is visible in industrial production, employment, real income and wholesale-retail trade. The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP); although the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not necessarily need to see this occur to call a recession. "

I think we all know what a recession is. We all recognize the recession that we're currently in.
 
Of course you do! You're a Liberal and think that Obama is actually going to get re-elected.

Just curious, what will be your response if he is re-elected?
