I just want to be really sure I understand this, Republicans refused to vote on the tax cuts because they wanted to ensure that the wealthy Americans (the ones who choose steak or lobster or shall we go to Aspen or the Bahamas for the Christmas holidays) keep their Bush-era tax breaks. President Obama conceded to the strong-arm tactics of the Republicans and now the Democrats are refusing to vote for the tax cuts. What is going on? Have we reverted to kindergarten here? You won’t do what I want so I won’t do what you want?
If I had my way congress would vote on one issue at a time, no more of this rolling all kinds of issues into one package. If you have an issue let’s get it on the agenda, have some discussion about it and then vote. If it passes great, if it doesn’t pass then put it back in the pot and work on presenting or changing it for another time. No more holding each other’s issues hostage in order to get your agenda passed.
Congress needs to remember who they are working for, and what their real obligations are. Instead of just thinking of themselves and their wealthy friends.
