| Democrats and Republicans are so far off in their expectations for the next steps of fiscal talks that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claimed he cannot understand the Republican Speaker’s brain. Senate Democratic leaders are growing frustrated by what they say is the lack of a specific plan from House Republicans to raise tax revenues or cut entitlement spending. Democrats say the onus is on Republicans to provide a counteroffer to their plan to let the Bush-era tax rates on families earning above $250,000 expire. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has told reporters the ball

I hope the Repugs do not lose the game on who is responsible for the economy.
Let the Dimms raise taxes on the "rich", but draw a line in the sand on deficit spending. The DImms have no moral foundation for their spending habits and this will be seen by the MSN and the electorate.

That´s because a brain is a foreign thing to you, Harry. How about the Republicans propose a tax cut..something along the line of 10% for the middle class? How about that, Harry? You ARE for the middle class, right?

I don´t care about the ´cliff´ ...

Just make sure the onus is on them when you do.

Obama has been beating to death the rich don´t pay their fair share baloney. How about a proposal that only the rich foot the bill for the governments taxes, only? Obama and his ilk would probably have a conniption at such a proposal, as they always depended on the ordinary sheeple workers to foot the majority of their tax revenues. Obama´s War on the Rich would certainly implode with such a proposition?

House should pass a bill providing 10% tax cut to the middle class with a 70% tax rate for anyone making a million dollars or more involved in the movie making industry. When the democratic senate votes it down, pass another bill wiht a 20% tax cut to the middle class with a 80% tax rate for anyone making a million dollars or more involved in the movie making industry. When the democratic senate votes that down pass another bill that provides a 30% tax cut for the middle class.....you get the idea.

If the House GOP doesn´t get a good deal with cuts NOW - then they should call Obama´s bluff and let ALL the Bush Tax Cuts expire. After the New Year they can bargain for tax reform NOT restoring the Bush cuts for the middle class.
Obama owns this economy and he owns he presidency´s leadership role. The pubbies have plenty of time to make thier case before NOv 2014.

The dems demand a detailed and complete grand plan that simultaneously raises revenue 10 fold and supports entitlement spending with a proven deficit reduction plan covering the next decade. Anything short of this is considered derelection of duty and obstructionism.
The left requires this monumental and detailed master fiannacial plan to counter their three word bumper sticker solution to all our financial woes:
"Tax the Rich".
Hint to the dems, leadership is not demanding your opponent provide reams of detaisl and a complete solution while you chant worn out campaign slogans.
How about we see a Democrat plan with one thousandth the detail they are demanding of the republicans? Or is that asking too much?
Its soooo much easier to simply chant "tax the evil rich".

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
