15 Days
Damn. At least let the carcass that was Republican control get cold first:
On Thursday, the House of Representatives will vote on legislation to increase taxes for the first time since 1993. It took just 15 days of new found power for the Democrats to raise taxes. The first vote of the 110th Congress removed the 3/5 supermajority to raise taxes. The following day was a vote to enact a new rule requiring offsetting tax increases for every tax cut.
Yes, it’s all coming back to me now exactly why I hate those guys.

Never mind that our tax levels are still in the area where tax cuts increase revenues.
Is the ability to ignore reality required for membership in the Democrat party?

so we’re trillions in debt, and the house passes a law that says that every time you decrease revenue, you must also increase it some other way, and somehow this is wrong? short of the .gov declaring bankruptcy, this is about the only way to get the budget balanced so that you can THEN cut spending sanely and consequently cut taxes
