Well I see our outgoing Democratic House members in both North and South Dakota decided that letting the top 1/2 of 1 percent of their respective states taxpayers are more important than the rest of us. Both Herseth-Sandlin and Pomeory voted on the side of the Republicans to keep tax cuts across the board. Both were defeated in November and had nothing to lose on this vote, so why the whimp factor? (btw, notice that M. Bachmann of Minnesota didn't vote - wonder why?)
Turning out these two Blue Dogs may help us in the end, though we will have to suffer through a couple of tough years under their replacements. Again, can we start a movement here in the heartland in the next year to do better? I hope we can, but it will take hard work and determination and a total rebuilding of our liberal base. Consider this a call to action from the west! Lets start building our community.
I don't understand why the Republicans didn't vote for this en mass.
ReplyDeleteWas they voted against was an extension of existing taxes. So they have voted for an increase in taxes.
Dumb.

ReplyDeleteIt is not only the Federal Government that has a debt crisis. The states do as well.
Solutions?
