"Down the road" my ass

Make cuts now and we'll raise taxes down the road. Down the road is a place you will never see. Bet on it.

7. yes.

Although a more likely explanation is that those same politicians think we are the ones stupid enough to believe it.

4. The biggest of the proposed "tax increases" is the automatic lapse of the Bush tax cuts.

16. Won't Boehner's Tea Party House vote to pass those tax cuts again anyway?

So, they are not automagically lapsed as we first thought they were.

6. Down the road - no. More like now. Too many chances for detours and too much time to create

more excuses not to will be conveniently created.

Another vote for Down The Road My Ass.

17. Maybe it's just Round 2 of the rope-a-dope strategy.

And we're hoping for a KO in the 15th round.

Maybe.

10. Better idea.

Raise taxes now, and we'll think about cuts later.

15. If that isn't a raw deal, I never heard one.

Any Dem who accepts cuts to the safety now for "possible" tax reform "down the road" has lost my support forever.

19. I've inferred, from comments dropped by Obama, that the teaklan

members have signed pledges not to raise taxes.
