Possible deal reached
 

Am surprised they came to one so early; it's only 9:10 PM. They had a couple hours.

The House & Senate are pretty much just as bad as reality TV.. It's like Ghost hunters.. They never find anything but try to keep it going til the last second then come up with a bull shit story to make morons believe what they are doing is real.

their blowing smoke up your ass :) their all full of shit. how long have they been arguing this deal? a year two years? what a bunch of bullshit. Any business connected to the government fails. too many leaks

Do not understand why anyone believes in this crap!
Nothing but finger-pointing bullshit!

Talk about cut it fine -

BBC said one thing and 10 minutes later, NHK said something different.

Probably safe to say they will let us fall over so they can say they rescued us January 2, 2013. Tax increases on the 1st, Congress to the rescue on the 2nd.

Congress is like a broken gun.

It won't work and you can't fire it!

:winkwink:

Yeah, you have a ton of credibility:disgust

Just a reminder...unless you're in the top 1-2% of earners in this country, nothing will change.

Oh wait, I forgot! that includes every single member of GFY :winkwink:

They will respect Obama's wishes and go over the cliff!

Those of us in the top 1/2 % look down on you in the top 2%.

They're all full of shit +1

Planned.

Much better to be the rep or senator who brought down taxes than the one who raised.
Devil is in the details. They are counting on everyone drinking and being wasted to not look at this more carefully...I do want to thank them for fucking the retail Christmas season. Nice Job.

Broken system. I see rating cuts in our future.

Congress has failed us. Again. All of them.

This deal, and the way it is being sold to the public, were packaged and agreed more than a month ago by Obama, McConnel, Reid, Boehner and Pelosi. It's a dog and pony show and the actual deal does virtually nothing. No long term agreement on handling the debt ceiling, no Buffet rule to require wealthy people to actually pay their accurate marginal rates, a 400K threshold that affects less than .6% of the population and disproportionately taxes New York, California and other blue states where earning 400K is not a lot of money rather than adjusting for cost of living....

The deal does nothing to fix the problem of people calling 200 Million carried interest or capital gains paying 13% while someone who actually creates equity in our economy and earns 400K pays close to 40% instead. It sets us up for new retard-showdowns on the debt ceiling every several months and has no automatic mechanical measure to tie spending cuts and tax increases together in a rational way...

The whole thing is a sad joke.

Agree'd Relentless

Did you really think they would agree to fix anything? Politics has and always will be a dog & pony show. Both side spew their BS and then agree to do as little as possible so they look just good enough for their next election.

Thought they'd sleep on it.

Watch BONER try and claim victory, or act like a tough negotiator. The prick.

Watch OBUMMER try and claim victory, or act like a tough negotiator. The prick.
