Democrat Caucus Rejects Deal On Taxes

This is interesting. All of the Democrats in the House met to discuss the deal on taxes that Obama made with the GOP leadership, and they voted to oppose it.

In a non-binding vote Thursday, the House Democratic Caucus voted to reject the president's tax compromise.

This is significant in the sense that it shows how many House Democrats are angry about the compromise with Republicans to temporarily extend the cuts for the highest earners, but it is not binding in regards to legislation that goes to the floor.

It's amazing, actually. For the past two years the Democrats have been demanding compromise, and now that PresBo actually DOES it, they scream bloody murder. What these liberals in Congress miss is that compromise doesn't mean you get your way and the other guy sucks wind. Sometimes YOU have to be the guy that doesn't get what he wants.

I don't like all the details of the compromise deal they reached, but from what we know of it, it's better than letting our economy be ravaged by substantial tax increases.
