Obama, who so far has only secured about half of the $1.2 billion in new tax revenues he says are needed to achieve “balanced” debt reduction, has warned several times in the last few days that he’ll go after the rest in the next round.

Deficit? 1,200 billion.

Obama’s solution? Get 1.2 billion more in revenue.

So fixing one tenth of one percent of the problem is a solution? For who exactly does this make sense?

What exactly does President Obama lose by going over this next cliff? Military spending?

Debt reduction? No way she’s ignorant enough to believe that there will be any debt reduction – even if the “wealthy” pay their fair share of 100%.

wealthy Americans will share the burden of debt reduction

Um, don’t they already pay 95% of all tax revenue?

wealthy Americans will share the burden of debt reduction,

With whom are they going to share it – not the 47%, that’s for sure!
