Do not let the President have any success,none. So the kids suffer and the rich get richer.

You do realize that the problem in passing this is the way to finance it. Actually it is politics by the Dems on this one
The Dems wish to do it by forcing high-earning stockholders in some privately owned corporations and professional practices to pay additional Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes.
The Republicans want to pay for it by abolishing a preventive health program created by Obama's 2010 health care overhaul.
The democrats and all KNOW FOR A FACT that a compromise will be had.....fact is that Reid voted against the bill to allow him the right to bring it up for a another vote.
They refuse to vote on the Republican version by the way.
It is just a way to be able to say what you are saying.
Sorry....you can check it out if you wish....it will be passed but the Dems actually
FORCED the vote so that folks like you will be saying just what you are saying.
PS If you find it any different than what I have posted, let me know publicly on here with a link and I will publicly apologize
