Maybe because they haven't made any concessions on anything for two years.

While the Dems held a filibuster-proof majority, concessions from the Republican side were irrelevant, so your point is moot.

Anyone who gets their news from sources other than MSNBC, CNN, and the like is familiar with Diane Feinstein's infamous quote regarding ObamaCare: “I will oppose any amendment no matter how good that amendment may be”. Now that they're in the majority, it's the Republican's turn to be inflexible.

But that's different, right?

I dunno. Maybe the Democrats have forgotten THEY STILL HAVE THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENCY AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL JOHN BOEHNER TO GO **** HIMSELF?

So every law in the Senate now takes 60 votes? That's not American. You shouldn't tout that my fiend In any event actual Dems were not 60, 2 indies and then ms. brown came to washington.

She never said that. Go hump Rush's leg some more.

The cuts were made, let's see, in 2001. If you let them expire that's a tax increase. Not raising taxes is not a cause of “racking up nearly an additional trillion dollars of federal debt…”
And the answer to “Why are Democrats the only ones making concessions on the Bush tax cuts?”: Because the Democrats lost and the Republicans won!!!

you done with your crow yet?

I despise Dianne Feinstein. But I also hate it when people take things out of context to try and make their point. The comment mentioned by Mike was made BEFORE the bill was passed by reconciliation. He is attempting to make that a CURRENT statement. Since the political landscape has changed, some Democrats are backpedaling on different things. She is an arrogant witch, but let's stick with what EVERYBODY says from hereon out. Because we can throw out the Republican “No compromises!” too. Let's get over the hyper-partisanship on BOTH sides, for the good of the nation.

Thanks for the fantastic blog post and it is nice to see such a postive blog that offers so much value so thank you for that. Awesome and interesting article. Great things you've always shared with us. Thanks again.

I'd prefer to see ALL the Bush tax cuts expire. How much good have they done over the past 8 years? How many jobs have been created? Clinton left office with a budget surplus. (As we all know, the economy boomed under Clinton even with those higher rates!) The Bush tax cuts, two unfunded wars, a Medicare prescription drug benefit for seniors that wasn't paid for, and an economy that tanked under Bush have left this country in a dire fiscal hole. Letting the tax cuts expire would help us repair that damage and restore confidence in our economy. Spending cuts alone won't do it. Republican David Stockman (Reagan's budget director) said recently that if you asked republicans to come up with specific spending cuts under penalty of death, they couldn't come up with 50 billion dollars worth, let alone 1.3 trillion.

I understand the reasoning behind keeping tax cuts in place for the lower 98% of wage earners. But extending those cuts for the upper 2% makes absolutely no fiscal sense at all. It's “voodoo economics.”

Youre so right. Im there with you. Your blog is unquestionably worth a read if anybody comes throughout it. Im lucky I did because now Ive obtained a whole new view of this. I didnt realise that this issue was so important and so universal. You certainly put it in perspective for me.
