1. It's disgraceful - and pathetic on the part of the president. nt

2. yes, I don't really have a sense of how much of a percentage difference

this extended tax cut represents.


It just seems to me, during a recession and so much retrenchment regarding basic services and other cuts to programs, that a tax increase would have made more sense.

3. I'm so pissed I cannot discuss this issue

My president let me down in such a way that I don't know if I'll ever support him again.

4. I don't like what it says, but thanks for posting the graphic.

It makes it easier to understand the comparison. I don't remember seeing it before.

6. One word comes to mind: obscene.

7. The Democratic Plan

is more fiscally responsible. But on the other hand The President gave a bigger cut to everyone!!!!Then either the Democratic or Republican Plan. So I guess if I had to choose between letting everyone get some or none, I probably would choose Everyone!!!! Even if there were some who did not deserve it!!!! Thanks for the Chart!!!And since the cost for this two year deal is around 180 billion and not the 900 Billion that people think, thanks to a new right wing talking point. I will survive.
