Republicans LOSE

[Woody]

The Republicans tired of politics - finally LOSE.

The pressure to go back to politics as usual WINS.

This is a loss for America.

The Republicans wanted to STOP this same o same o deal of waiting till the last moment and to just make 2 month decisions. This is what shakes consumer confidence. But that is what wins. The Demos still don't get it that Americans don't like this kind of politics. So - back to that game.

Whatever you do - DO NOT listen to the networks like ABC. If you listen tonight they will tell you that the average American will save a thousand dollars a year with this "two month" decision. They are pretending what the Republicans were trying to force - (a year long decision) actually WON. But the truth is - the Demos won and so it will only be a two month decision.

Be careful. Don't believe what you hear on ANY other network other than Fox News.

Remember - the Republicans LOST. You will not gain $1,000 a year. You will gain only two months. Then it is back to politics as usual.

Yes Olger. DRAT.

The plan that the Demos will now get - will actually increase the SS taxes by 2% and after 2 months unless there is a new agreement there will be another 4.2% increase.

DO NOT believe what you are hearing by the network news. This will NOT save Americans $1,000 for the coming year. I repeat - it will increase the tax by 2% from last year for 2 months.

Politics wins again. Congratulations Demos.
