"If we can't get a good deal, a balanced deal, that calls on the wealthy to pay their fair share, then I will absolutely continue this debate into 2013, rather than lock in a long-term deal this year that throws middle-class families under the bus," Murray, a budget committee member and former co-chair of the debt supercommittee

can someone please explain to me how extending the tax cuts for everyone is throwing the middle class under the bus?

why are the new taxes in obamacare not throwing the middle class under the bus?

You want some tax hikes on "The Evil Rich?", fine, couple those with actual budget cuts to the tune of $3 in cuts to $1 in tax revenue.

No way!! That's how Reagan got GOT. The Dems always make this deal; the GOP hikes the taxes but the Dems don't cut the spending.

I know, he said it was the worst political decisions he ever made as president.

You'll always get the tax hikes but the spending cuts will never materialize.

Let the Dems keep this foolishness up. They'll just speed up that repeat trip to the woodshed this November.
