"Fiscal Cliff"deal a win?

[bigmyk2k]

Kinda makes you wonder how we ever got by during those first 175 years, when income taxes were still illegal.

Click here for article about how this deal was a win for Republicans.

Doesn't say anything about fiscal conservatives, and those who favor small government. Clearly Repubs are no longer those.

Nothing passed by this Congress and signed by this President can be considered a win. I'm just sayin'

The less they do, the less they screw up.

When the wheels have left the road, a good driver knows not to turn the wheel.

This was in no way a win. The debt along with the rest of what these politicians are doing to our country will continue to spiral out of control.

It was a deal. It made some people feel good while bending over most tax paying citizens.

Congress passed a resolution on taxes but not on spending cuts. How is that a win for America?

All of them who get a paycheck.

Even the guests on NPR were complaining about this, saying how the Republicans aren't really ever serious about cutting spending, and the Democrats aren't really that serious about raising taxes, and that it is just one big hipocracy from both sides.

Seriously, I believe this country has already passed the tipping point. We've moved from a democratic republic to socialist mob rule hell bent on the redistribution of the wealth produced by the hardworking folks. Fasten your seatbelts, because it's all downhill from here.

We should have told the republicans to shut the hell up and let us go over. At least then there would have been a chance for change...
