Always great to hear from Congressman Alan Grayson. He explains what voters expect from the democrats.

1. What a great guy.

I sure hope he's around to serve us in some other capacity.





Boehner - McDuncell Jobs Plan

2. Unfortunately, with talk about his own obituary, it looks like he's out for 2012.

Some on DU have been saying he should run in the 2012 Democratic primaries. Looks like it's not going to happen.

10. He was only referring to how the talking head introduced him

I didn't get any hint that he was bowing out of anything from that.

3. Compromise? Tax cuts for rich $700 billion+ and unemployement benefits $32 billion -- !!!

in fact, tax cuts cost more like $800 billion cause we have to borrow the money!!

We're now paying $1 BILLION a day in interest on the debt!!

Benefits for the unemployed -- $32 billion?

And, in fact, why not increase corporate taxes to more properly cover

unemployment benefits? After all, this corporate crime wave is responsible

for the unemployment!!

That's not a "compromise" -- it's a swindle --

Did Obama permit himself to get swindled in this deal - ???

Or did he permit the American public to get swindled in this deal -- ???

Either way, not a good sign for Obama continuing on in 2012!!

[Still a Democrat]

4. "Tax cuts for rich $700 billion+"

Nope.

[defendandprotect]

5. Well, spit it out ... what are you trying to say ... ??? Obama didn't get swindled -- ??

[Still a Democrat]

6. The tax cuts for the wealthy and estate tax change cost about $133B, not $700B

Where did you get that number?

[TheUnspeakable]

8. maybe from Geithner?

9. You're confyusing the ten year cost of the original with the two year cost of the compromise

If you're going to compare apples and apples, you can't measure 10 years worth of an item and 2 of another. Your statement below did just that.

"Compromise? Tax cuts for rich $700 billion+ and unemployement benefits $32 billion -- !!!"

It also ignores the other elements of the recent $900B compromise.

11. Let's just take your figure ... Oblama gave away $132 billion to get $32 billion????

[pam4water]

7. I can't believe he didn't win re-election. I can't believe they voted for that criminal for govern.

[defendandprotect]

12. None of our elections are believable ... we're been voting on computers since the late 1960's...!!!
