Subscribed because Obama is like a teenager with one of these bad boys:

I thought Congress controlled the purse strings. Guess not.

*sigh*

It was a joke to subscribe to the thread. Easier to post than subscribe.

Must have missed the smiley face :p

Found it interesting that the God fearin', deficit reducin', rock ribbed Reagan Republican GOP House is going to pass a payroll tax cut extention WITHOUT paying for it??? Let me get this straight: they're willing to let the US default on its debt to make a point, but when it comes time to cast a tough vote against a popular measure the fold like a house of cards? Yikes. At least Obama had a plan to pay for it. With this action, what exactly is the rational for keeping the GOP in control of Congress?

I'm surprised how much mileage Obama has gotten out of this one issue. Not only does it paint the GOP as reluctant to pass any tax cut not specifically for the benefit of their wealthy campaign contributors, it now destroys their whole reason for being. I'm very curious how long The Boner survives all this.

Boehner's already going down in history as one of the least competent Speaker's in quite some time. I think he's just going through the motions now. Of course, I'm not sure his replacement will have much better luck assuming they hold the House.

Can I ask a stupid question? Why didn't the Bush Tax Cuts ever have to be offset by spending reductions?

I don't get it.

Deficits don't matter.

Besides, we had 2 wars to fight!

I understand that. But what I don't get is why the party that needs spending reductions for this tax cut didn't need the same thing for the Bush Tax Cuts.

When has anything that costs money out of the budget been matched by spending cuts? I have yet to see it on a substantive basis. But, as usual, you bang on Bush and give others the free pass.

Oh, and if Bush had proposed spending cuts, which he should have, Congress (both Reps and Dems) wouldn't have given him teh necessary support. But he still should have, as every other president for the last 30 years should have.

Woooooooooooooooooooooosh.

I'm not being partisan here, Bob. I want to know why. I understand that the Republicans didn't win here. I actually agree with them to a certain extent. I don't agree with Social Security Trust Fund as a bank for funding stimulus. What I want to know is why this tax cut needs offsetting budget cuts but the Bush Tax Cuts don't. It's a simple question.

There were PAYGO requirements in place from 1991-2002. Then for some reason they were not extended. Wonder why that is.

The PAYGO rules are back in place, signed into law by President Obama in 2010.

So, we PAYGO when Democrats are in the White House but we don't when Republicans are in the White House? Why is that?

Wosh yourself. I'm just saying that the Bush tax cuts are no different than lots of other stuff the feds have done in recent decades, where they haven't cut spending to match commitments of money elsewhere. You can fixate on the Bush tax cuts of you like, but they are no different than lots of other stuff that's seen a similar lack of balance.

There are plenty of ways around PAYGO, but Bush and his Republican friends didn't even bother pretending.
