Budget talks: This is getting nasty

Not saying it isn't a realistic solution...saying it is not a wise decision at this point with our economy as it is. If you raise taxes on the job creators they are going to make that money up some way or another...and unemployment will go up again. In a way the Republicans should let Obama raise taxes all he wants...this would ensure his losing the election in 2012 (not like I think he has much of a chance anyway). Unemployment would be around 15% if he got all the tax increases he wants. But the Republicans are doing the responsible thing and looking out for the country.
