the republican led congress. the worst congress ever.

Quote from Free Thinker:

and the fact that tax revenues and effective rates are at historic lows have no bearing on the debt. republicans insist they will refuse to agree to any revenue increases. they refuse to even end subsidies to oil companies.
you simply can not ask granny to give up her medicare and ss when you at the same time are giving tax breaks to billionairs.

The reason they're at historic lows is because Obama drove the economy into a ditch....I think he calls it a "bump". So with fewer people working, tax collections are down. And he extended the Bush tax cuts.

Here's an example of Obama stimulating the economy....

Business groups are stepping up pressure on the Obama administration to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from enacting tougher limits on smog-forming ozone, saying a new rule pending White House approval would damp the fragile economic recovery.

I thought the dems still controlled the senate. Shouldn't the title of this ridiculous thread be "worst house of reps ever"?

Not to mention the fact that Elizabeth Warren just got done creating an ENTIRELY NEW BEAURECRACY, called "The consumer protection agency" which is going to have an entirely new set of rules and regulations to hamper business with.

Plus Obamacare coming, businesses have a lot to look foreword to over the next 4 years.

Both Democrats and Republicans alike seem to have the philosophy that "If we can't win they can't win either."
