he didn't need to ask for double what they were askng for... all he had to do was meet their number, but he didn't.. he went farther than that because
he's not stupid and he knows the cuts are needed.. the Gov't
is bloated.
He knew it was going to be hard to get the people who raised the debt limit 10 times in the last 10 years when it was a (R) president, to raise it for him.. it's the same game the GOP has been playing for a cpl years now.. so he countered their offer with double what they were asking for and less than the tax raises his base was asking for.. at that point, the GOP had won. They would ask for $2trillion in cuts
and get $4trillion instead.. and they would only have to close the tax-loopholes for oil companies in 2 years, and let the Bush tax-cut expire next year to the tune of >$1trillion in revenue.. it was a win for them. But they didn't budge, why? If not to ensure Obama's one term, then why?
You've mocked Chuck for his belief on the GOP's singular goal here, but you accept that it doesn't matter what Obama asks for, he's not going to get it.. so what gives?
wow...
the first paragraph is telling of YOUR beliefs...what you would imagine to be the perfect answer for the action...could be right...but idk it to be true
number two: shouldn't it be hard for any fucking body to get an increase after ten years of the limit being continuiously raised...jesus...in the middle of
a nightmare recession also...oh...of course not...the whoever is just out to get him...well of course they are...and it works both ways at all times...
with each new proposal or committee etc...everyone is always jockeying for position and leverage...
