That should read "Republican's fault". LOL
You have no idea if a bill reinstating the tax cuts for those making less than
$250,000 would be introduced no matter what you think has been said. The tax
monies from allowing the top rates to return to Clinton-era rates would do
little to stop the out of control deficit that this country is dealing with.
You do see how this puts President Obama, and the Democrats in congress,
in a much better position to negotiate a deal, don't you?
As for Grover being the devil, please. Nobody forced anyone to sign his pledge
and if you want to back out, go ahead and say that.
To put the USA back on the path to fiscal responsibility will take both
increases in tax revenues and cuts in entitlement spending. Currently
there is a terrible imbalance between revenue raised from taxes and
government spending.
I seem to recall the USA is spending somewhere around 42% of GDP each
year, but is only raising about 24% of GDP in tax revenue per year. A
more realistic balance, that seem to be working in other countries
might be something along the lines of spending 36% of GDP and raising
around 32% of GDP from tax revenues.

House Speaker John Boehner and the failed political establishment are
purging House Committees of fiscal conservatives.
So far, Reps. Amash, Huelskamp, and Schweikert have been removed from their
respective committees for refusing to vote in lock step with the Republicans
on endless spending. These members have been some of the most reliable votes
for economic freedom and the Constitution, and they are now being punished
for their loyalty to their Oath of Office.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (KS) - Removed from the House Budget Committee (96%
FreedomWorks Lifetime Rating).
Rep. Justin Amash (MI) - Removed from the House Budget Committee (100%
FreedomWorks Lifetime Rating).
Rep. David Schweikert (AZ) - Removed from the House Financial Services (96%
FreedomWorks Lifetime Rating).
It's bad enough we have to fight the big-spending liberal Democrats. But
with friends like Boehner, who needs liberals?
The Republican leadership is tired of principled fiscal conservatives
fighting against their big-government agenda, and this is just the first
shot. We need to send a message to Boehner that we will not allow our most
valued Congressmen to be purged for upholding their commitment to economic
freedom and the Constitution.
In accordance with the Budget Control Act of 2011, taxes rates will go up for
everybody on January 1, 2013, back to the tax rates in effect during President
Clinton's years in office.
If the Tea Party, and other Republicans, drive the country off the fiscal
cliff, January 1, 2013 a bill would be introduced by Democrats in congress to
lower taxes back to the Bush era rates for all Americans who make $250,000.00
or less. The tax rates for Americans making more than $250,000.00 would remain
at the rates in effect during President Clinton's years.
This would put Tea Party Republicans, and other Republicans, who have made a
deal with the Devil, (eg Grover Norquist), in a very awkward position; because,
voting against reinstatement of the Bush era tax cut for ordinary Americans
would be political suicide. LOL
