Republicans Threaten to Bring Senate to Halt Over Tax Dispute

NYT ^ | 12/1/2010 | DAVID M. HERSZENHORN

WASHINGTON — Not even 24 hours after President Obama met with senior Republican Congressional leaders and expressed hopes for a “new dialogue,” renewed partisan fury engulfed the Senate on Wednesday, as Republicans threatened to block any legislation until a deal is reached to extend the expiring Bush-era tax cuts, potentially derailing the Democrats’ busy end-of-year agenda. The blunt threat was made in a letter to the majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, and signed by all 42 Senate Republicans. And it was reiterated by the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, in a speech in which he accused Democratic leaders...

What they plan to do is fine by me.
But they should just do it,not write letters about their intentions. It probably will not work because Democrats really want tax increases for everyone, and this will just give them an excuse to do nothing and let the Bush tax cuts expire. The letter will be used as proof that the Republicans are responsible for the in creased taxes on everyone.

Once again I am confused. When the Bush tax cuts were passed in 01 and 03, the Dingbatcrats cried that they were tax cuts for the rich and nothing for the middle class. Now that the cuts are to expire, the Welfarecrats are crying that the middle class is going to get whacked. Did the 01/03 rich become the 10 middle class?

Prohibition was repealed because the no one wanted to try to enforce it. Every single attempt to punish someone for flaunting it ended in jury nullification.

Not one successful prosecution.

"The economy" was just a face saving excuse for repealing an amendment that only special interests ( factory owners, feminists, and puritanical zealots ) wanted.

TODAY
DOUBLE HANGING
2 down, 612 to go

It's been a long time since we had a hanging; the paper work is a killer. Still, nothing in Internet history can produce an instance of hangings so honorably conducted. I say nothing of motives, they being self evident. God forbid we should ever be again 20 months without such a rebellion against these tyrants. The people cannot be all, & always well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If we remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.

Press the button when you are ready Sirs and Madames! May God have mercy on their canker-blossomed souls, because we will not.

Net neutrality is nice sounding. What it will do is the opposite of what happened after the break-up of Ma Bell. Regulation will result in my not being able to choose how I purchase the good we call access to the internet.

Let providers set their own prices and policies. Please.

Thanks Casca - fixed, although I can't imagine both wouldn't hang regardless.

As to my opposition:

1) The bill was rejected by congress 2-1. What's happening here is an unelected regulator making an end run around the constitution. That's a hanging offense.

Secondarily, I am opposed to government's involvement in any way, manner, or form with the internet. Period. I think, so should you be.

It's a complicated issue, but right now the providers are throttling our access to web content. I'm against that. Google and the other inter-thugs may be on the side of the angels on this one. Some regulation is obviously necessary. Until then, we're in exactly the position we were before the breakup of Ma Bell, kinda sorta.

While it's true that mixed case is easier to read than all caps (I learned that in journalism class in 1968!), it's also true that bigger, simpler letters are easier to read at a distance, especially in the dark. The older I get, the more I appreciate all-caps street signs.

Mixed case is easier when there are multiple words, as in a sentence or paragraph. For one word, I guarandamtee you all caps is easier unless the font and therefore the sign is made bigger to where the lower case part is the same size as the original upper case. Bigger signs equal bigger supports, more printing materials, more sign material and more likelihood of blow down in a wind. Big barnsmell blows this way. Follow the money, folks.

Assange is planning his bank data dump about the same time as that European Dec 7 effort to disrupt the Euro banking system.

Now, while neither of these probably represents a substantive threat, if a major player, like Soros, uses it as cover for a serious attack, there could be trouble.

Again, mattress money might be in order for a bit.

Well, mattress money is in order, period. There are too many potential threats that can cause a temporary (or worse) disruption to the electronic money system. A few hundred to a couple thou in small bills on hand in a secure location is only prudent.

Gold and silver if you have cash to spare after you have thoroughly stocked up on essentials. Any essential that is inflating in price is a good investment. Benefit is you get the use of it without the need to convert back to fiat dollars first.

I have an old double barrel that came home in a duffle bag from WW II . She was created at the Gustloffe Werke in september of 1941 , obviously for someone very high up the nazi food chain . She has all of the nazi proof markings , but the engraving is what makes her stand out . Within the beautiful scroll engraving are several "Stars of David". The Gustloffe Werke was formerly the jewish owned , Simson Luger factory , and was renamed when Germany took over the factory , and erected a concentration camp outside the factory gate .
