President Obama insists on new sources of revenue--another phrase for TAXES.
Speaker Boehner, and Republicans, say no. Absolutely no taxes. As Boehner says, "The president is emphatic that taxes have to be raised. As a former small businessman, I know tax increases destroy jobs."
Obama blames Republicans on this impasses, but offers no concrete plan of his own. Instead, Reid kept the Cut, Cap and Balance Act off the floor of the Senate and didn't allow any discussion or vote on it.
Obama blames Republicans on the looming default, when the government will not default. There's enough money to pay our debts.
Obama blames Republcans for the possibility of senior citizens not getting their Social Security checks, when it will be his decision whether or not those checks will be mailed.
Obama blames Republicans for the possible lowering of our credit rating, when the problem is not the possibility of default (see above) but the out-of-control spending under his governorship.
CALL your senators and representative, and everyone else you can think of. This is a representative democracy!
