The normal Washington shenanigans on display again....‏

Here we go again. How many times have we seen this movie.

Oh no…… the deadline is approaching……Nobody agrees on anything…….. what will happen…… Everyone bite your nails……Then at the last moment (Usually on Christmas Eve) when nobody is paying attention (Except Andrew) miraculously a bill will be passed with lots of corporate giveaways. Hopefully nobody will find out what is being given away now.

Republican and Democrats LOVE these charades.

Republican LOVE tax breaks. They are pledged to NEVER raise taxes EVER. When Democrats (pretended to) want to let the Bush tax breaks expire Republicans say that is raising taxes. Now these taxes are going to expire and Republicans are pretending they don’t want to extend them (wink wink).

Obama pretends he wants to protect Social Security. Yet this tax break takes money out of Social Security. Then later he will tell you Social Security is underfunded and there needs to be cuts. Even though the reason it is underfunded is because of him.
Republicans hate Social Security and yet when Obama wants to under fund it Republicans are suddenly the great protectors of the program. These taxes need to be paid for (they say). Bushes taxes DON’T need to be paid for. But these do.

Well everyone can rest easy knowing these tax cuts will continue. Despite all the dramatics and terrible acting. Taxes will be extended. Social Security will be underfunded. No jobs will be created. Corporations will benefit.

You watch.
