The new cliff deal...
In his comments on the new deal thats just been passed to avoid the so called "fiscal cliff" Obama said this...
"In his White House remarks, Obama said that while he was open to compromise, he would demand deficit-cutting savings from added revenue on the well-off, not just spending cuts.
He also pointedly said he would "not have another debate with this Congress" over extending the federal borrowing limit.
...
"If Congress refuses to give the United States government the ability to pay these bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy would be catastrophic — far worse than the impact of a fiscal cliff," he said.
Let me translate this for you...
The first paragraph simply means he's gonna ask for more tax hikes. Whats in this new bill in his opinion isn't enough.
In the second paragraph he is pretty much letting everyone know he won't debate over raising the debt ceiling. He wants it raised, he has no interest in controling spending. He wants to spend till his hearts content with no interest in lowering the deficit.
The third statement is just his way of ramping up more anxiety and trying to bring pressure to bare on the GOP by declaring this is a new catastrophy even more deadly than the last.
Oh no the worlds gonna end, give me a damn break. Now of course the GOP will fall for all of it because there isn't a spine to be found on the right side of the aisle in DC.
