Max Baucus: A bank tax is coming - David Rogers - POLITICO.com

Expiring Bush era tax cuts for the poor and middle class, push back on the "bank tax" from rich democrat donors, looming pay-go rules, new unemployment extensions, planned tax cuts for small businesses, and very little revenue elsewhere to pay for it all thanks to Obamacare.

They've painted themselves into a corner.

Expect some very important campaign promises to be broken pretty soon.

Under Obama it is now spend then tax.

I know many democrats that run businesses and just about all are really swell people. But from Washington to the local level, I do not understand their priorities. Could it be they do not really care? For example, the BCC meeting in Walton County, on Tuesday at 4PM is going to be probably the single most important issue affecting south Walton for the next few years. How is the TDC and Chamber/Moliterno going to operate? Yet the local Democrat Party has scheduled a political meeting for themselves at the exact same time.

I would think that another time could be found to do the politics and let us all come together on Tuesday and figure out how this tourism thing is going to work.

Nice sig line. Is your cat black?

Oh- I kid. I kid.

I would think you would be glad the democrats aren't going to be there so that you can advance your party's agenda. No?

Well, that's reason #3 why tomorrow's Democrat meeting is insanely stupid. :angry:

The rate/direction they're going, I may be getting out a Sharpie, making myself a costume, and carpooling to teaparty events with Andy A.
