Republicans have fallen the the bait and switch way too many times in the past. We have raised taxes in the past, and never got the spending cuts promised.......

This time around, make the CUTS, and then if we still need revenues, raise taxes.......

Oh, btw.......there are bills passed by the house that Harry Reid will not even allow to come to the floor. One such bill was a bill to repeal obamacare.....It passed the house overwhelmingly, and more than likely would have passed the senate, because EVEN democrats don't want it but Harry Reid would not even allow it to come to the floor.

So lets not just blame republicans here........this is dirty politics....pure and simple.

I understand that's what they WANT. What they have to realize is that, in the real world, you don't get exactly what you want, especially when your candidate lost the election. It's called give and take.

This time around, you don't get to say, "make the cuts first, and then raise revenue if needed." You're not calling the shots. When you dig in your heels and refuse to compromise, all you're doing is ensuring that NOTHING gets done! Can't you see that???

I don't really blame "just Republicans" for this, but your post blamed just Democrats, so I was turning it around on you. Neither side can say they have a real long-term plan that's going to work.
