I only know now, as I've always known ever since the Democrats conned George H.W. Bush that they would cut spending if he agreed to a modest rise in taxes and then beat him over the head with that "he raised taxes club" until he was reeling and falling out of the oval office that the "raise taxes" scheme is just one big piece of bull crap to destroy the credibility of the Republicans.
It's the only reason for the insistence for the tax increases to be made by the Republican Congress, and no amount of specifics from you or anyone about all the numbers and margins and what-have-you has any relevance in the partisan call for raised taxes.
Buggy, I am not even addressing because he's given up the ghost in this argument with his above statement that makes no sense to me.

That's OK with me, Richie. Just don't wear a hole in your stomach generating too much acid over Obama and the Democrats between now and the end of the year. When all the bad stuff starts to happen after the bowl games, and all the public outrage over increased taxes and cuts in government programs and defense spending starts, you'll have the company of all the other Republican partisans blaming the Democrats and Obama for what's going to happen. Of course, the Democrats will be slinging it back at you.
If Romney wins, he won't be starting with quite as bad an economic problem as Obama did. But he'll be starting with a much worse political situation, with both parties hating one another even more than now, being more uncooperative than they've ever been, if that's even imaginable.
So there's no sense you getting all upset until the bad stuff actually starts to happen...unless you want to get mad at the entire Congress for sitting around doing little more than campaigning for their re-elections between now and then.
