Why Is Boehner not even PRETENDING to Compromise?

Boehner has lost no matter what. If he gives in the conservatives will pounce on him and his political career is over. If he stands with the party line, then the nation crashes and it's all his fault. He is in a no win situation and put himself there.

Compromise doesn't mean "do what the President says"

"But Boenher throws Social Security and Medicare into the mix -excuse me - the cliff does not even discuss those programs - so that is not a compromise between the two. it a left field. He might as well throw in repeal of Rowe v Wade - it is just not germane to forging a compromise between status quo and the cliff. It is just such a BIZARRE curve ball to throw in this late in the game."

-It belongs there, because much of our debt is entitlement programs. We need to cut spending, and increasing the age you can collect social security and get medicare are going to be necessary.

Obamas "tax the upper middle class- rich" plan is only going to gain 85 billion, which will accomplish what? Get ready: NOTHING.

On taxes, this all began by Boehner calling Obama on the matt by giving on raising taxes on "millionaires and billionaires", as Obama has been saying for over a 365 days. while Obama have been given noted as in this, it fairly is while he provided the 4 hundred thousand bracket. On taxes on my own, this won't be a bad compromise. many of the fifty 5% of small companies and their proprietors would be decrease than this point. All this even nonetheless, ignores the authentic clarification why Republicans are so intransigent on the middle type tax cuts. This administration won't make ANY significant (different than smoke and mirrors) funds cuts. it fairly is the place the authentic motive force of the deficits and debt lay. even so, the term "funds decrease" does not fairly be conscious in view that this administration hasn't even been engaged on a funds because of the fact the final of the Bush FY2009 funds. This on my own shows the economic irresponsibility of this administration and for many of the comparable clarification why fiscally irresponsible persons would possibly no longer made a funds; so they think of they might spend what they choose and forget approximately on the topic of the implications.

Obama wants to spend, spend spend.Obama dose not care one way or another as long as he can spend money. I hope the fiscal cliff is Niagara Falls.

Who cares? I hope we go off the cliff and all you weinies get what you deserve. Good riddance to you.

Somewhat similar to the President isn't it.

He will not bow down to Obama...FACT!!
