Re: U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs; Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%
"hey I won" cuts both ways.....
That is awesome, the 2% tax increase you claim Obama wanted was the end of the Keynesian stimulus payroll tax holiday which Republicans opposed fromt he beginning and wanted gone every chance they got. Still it was always intended to be temporary, so by definition, it had to end some time. If Obama could have gotten it through, he would have extended it further, but there was no way he was going to get the GOP on board.
Very little has been vetoed? Seriously? You want to go with that?
The GOP House has voted to repeal Obamacare nearly three dozen times, they have passed three DOA budgets which had zero chance of becoming law, the GOP minority in the Senate has invoked a record shattering 360 filibusters since 2007.
When you say, "he this year got the 2% tax increase on every worker he wanted and he got the raise in the top end tax rate", I am reminded of that line from Princess Bride. "My brains, his steal, and your strength, against 60 men. And, you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy?"
The GOp is content with allowing nothing to happen unless they get all they want, the only variations on this theme are when the only alternative is catastrophe from which they could not escape blame.
