House vote Thursday increases likelihood of sequestration cuts

Just curious....are you, and the rest of the "go over the cliff" crowd, employed, or retired?

If working, then you're cool with much higher taxes....at the very least?

Working. Going over the cliff means the SS cola would not go to chained CPI - even though I would accept that small future reduction. Otherwise, there's not much difference between the concessions already offered (and rejected) than going over the cliff - about $1K difference between the 2 options for me. So even though it means slightly more taxes out of my pocket, I'd prefer to go over the cliff if it is for the long-term good.

When defense is cut I say close everything in the RED states. I say across the board cuts in RED states. Close federal offices in RED states.

If going over the cliff cuts defense lets enjoy the ride.

You betcha, hopefully many of our trash of the ghetto will starve and rot in the fields.

You "say" a lot but none of it matters to anyone but you.

If working, then you're cool with much higher taxes....because you do realize that's just one of the many bad things we will all experience? You do realize that, right?

I'm employed and I make good money. Thanks for your concern.

If we go over the cliff my taxes would go up to where they were during the Clinton years when the economy was booming and the budget was in surplus.

Of course the reality is that the Senate could just pass a bill on Jan 23rd that cuts taxes for people making less than 250,000 a year and challenge the House Republicans to do the same.

What are the other "bad things" that would happen? Are you a Keynesian too?

Wait, are they in the ghetto or are they out in the fields somewhere? You seem confused but I guess that's not unusual.

If we went over the cliff, wouldn't that mean fewer dollars available to buy guns and ammo? Ready to support a leap off the cliff now?

I can't get a decent enough cheek weld on those folding stocks and be consistent, and I've fired them full auto a couple of times and it irritates the face bones.
