But politicians make it sound like there is going to be a "cut" next year. That is the difference when politicians speek. They will choose to call avoiding an increase as a new benefit to the taxpayer in 2011...that will allow families more affordability....and even create 600,000 new jobs.

Let's see....nobody gets any more than they have right now....we the people or the government....so how does it provide aid to we the people? How does it cost the government anymore than it does right now?
And I especially am interested in how 600,000 new jobs are created with $0 involved?

And why is this not more of a discussion point. If you avoid spending a dollar you do not have $1 more. If the government does not get a $1 or have to put out a $1 how does it cost the government any more?

Words!!!

The republicans are making a mistake by making a deal with Obama. Not a good opening or advertisment for doing business any differently than has been.....same old...same old...politics and business as usual.

I will take a person with emotion any time over an iceberg like Pelosi! And anybody taking over from her is an instant improvement. Unlike the avoidance discussed above being smoke and mirrors, getting rid of Pelosi is a real improvement.
