Bill to avert fiscal cliff heads to House

Legislation to negate a fiscal cliff of across-the-board tax increases and sweeping spending cuts to the Pentagon and other government agencies is headed to the GOP-dominated House after bipartisan, middle-of-the-night approval in the Senate capped a New Year's Eve drama unlike any other in the annals of Congress.

Let me put this in simple terms for you people that think this is a good thing. Say you have a budget, and you budget for entertainment, a dinner out once or twice a month. Then you get your electric bill which is double what you budgeted for...do you still go out to dinner? Do you go four times a month instead of just twice? OK, some of you might, but most of us would cut our entertainment in order to take care of the bill. So they raised taxes on the so called wealthy..how long does that income last? You can't get outta debt by spending..there must be cuts. And cuts can hurt, but without cutting the electricity is gonna eventually be cut off.

Tax Increases = $620 billion dollars. Spending cuts = $15 billion. That's over a 41:1 ratio for you public school mathletes out there. Every time Republicans agree to Democrat tax increases, does it ever pay off? Vote no to this insult. Better to force government to curtail spending. And we're also giving 2.1 million unemployment losers another year to do what, sit on their ass?
