Did Democrats agree to extend the Bush taxcuts once again?

[kentuck]

In their negotiations?

Does anyone know?

We know that is what the Republicans want more than anything else on God's green earth.

We do know that when you deal with terrorists, they are never satisfied. The more you give, the more they want.

Also, they will agree to have votes on Obama's healthcare plan and on Planned Parenthood. Whether anything will come from that remains to be seen.

If the healthcare reform is repealed, will our deductibles for doctor visits and drugs go back down? In some cases, they have doubled in the last two years.

1. the Bush tax cuts are extended through 2012

this budget battle had nothing to do with it

[elleng]

2. Wasn't on the table.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. That doesn't preclude under-the-table promises for the future.

[Marblehead]

3. They will...

in 2012

[iemitsu]

5. they aren't the bush tax cuts any longer

they belong to obama who should have vetoed them into the sunset.
we would not be having to make social cuts today if he had had the decency to do the right thing.

[SDuderstadt]

6. How could he have...

vetoed them?

I'd love to hear your strategy.

[iemitsu]

7. nearly 80% of americans

wanted those tax cuts to expire.
obama could have vetoed them with a pen.

[Shiver]

8. Which would have also vetoed extending unemployment benefits

in a time when many, many people desperately need it. I doubt 80% of Americans wanted that.

[SDuderstadt]

9. Along with the tax cuts for...

those making less than $250K/yr and the extension of unemployment benefits for millions of Americans.

You left that part out.
