These guys are on CSPAN, if anyone cares.
Edit: house passed senate tax deal with simple majority. Bill now needs signature.

Issa is the best so far. Talking about voting no because there isn't any tax reform despite the fact that they've had a year to do that and still can do it later. Guy is a tool.
The walking Botox advertisement is up now.

No people on this planet get paid so much money to accomplish so little as politicians. They need to (a) make less money and (b) be held accountable for actually doing their jobs. If I treated my job the way they do theirs, I'd be fired within the week.

Bush era taxes lapsed at midnight last night. Because they happened the most recent, the McConnell-Biden deal was to make alleviate that "threat". It keeps former the tax rates for everyone making under $450k, only raises cap gains to 20%, only raises estate taxes five percent with a $5M threshold...not sure on payroll. I think they lapse.

yeah I understand procedure, idk why R's gave up their leverage. Dem's have nothing held over there head now when debt negotiations start. Boehner should be fired for allowing this to vote/pass

Wait. What? If they didn't agree to this, taxes would have gone back to Clinton-era. How is that not leverage enough?

They essentially gave Obama his shopping list. Tax increase, unemployment benefits, not sure if he snuck stimulus in or not. The next negotiations he's already got what he wanted, so I have no earthly clue if/how they'll actually agree on cutting spending.

I was under the impression that this deal only dealt with taxes. Still a lot of negotiating to go. TBH, Dems had the deck stacked before hand anyways with the way the fiscal cliff was set up.

I'm extremely offended, and feel you should serve a 24 hour ban for insinuating such a thing. The state of our country and soft uneducated Democrats is no trolling matter.
