I feel like we need a non-conspiracy thread in here to clear the air a bit....
How does everyone feel about letting the tax cuts expire? Is it a painful tax raise during a wobbly recovery or something that is necessary to make our finances more sustainable?
If the debt and deficits are something you're concerned about, it's to argue against letting the law expire. There will need to be some budget slashing as well, but it strikes me as very cynical/political to be complaining about deficits on the one hand and wanting to cut everyone's taxes without realistically what spending you're going to cut. I'd like to have a chat with john boehner about that sometime, unless he's too busy at the tanning salon or golf course...
