Mary Landrieu: 'Obama-McConnell' Plan Is 'Almost Morally Corrupt'

First of all, it was $700 BILLION over 10 years for continuing just the tax cuts for the rich.

It was $3 TRILLION for continuing Bush's tax cuts for 10 years for all.

It becomes $4 TRILLION for continuing this deal over 10 years.  And expect that to happen because this is a new piece of legislatio­n -- It's not an erasing of the date of expiration on the Bush tax cut bill and putting a two year date on it.  It's now "Obama's tax cuts", and once you have legislatio­n, it becomes d@mned near impossible to end.  If you don't believe me, take it from the architects of Bush's tax cuts, and how their fondest dreams are coming true:

“We knew that, politicall­y, once you get it into law, it becomes almost impossible to remove it,” says Dan Bartlett, Bush’s former communicat­ions director. “That’s not a bad legacy. The fact that we were able to lay the trap does feel pretty good, to tell you the truth.” [...]

“[Democrats­] are definitely on the defensive,” Card says. “The fact that the 10-year clock ran out now had a big impact on the election.”

Nothing will change in 2 years, before the 2012 election.  Why would it?  The economy is worsening, despite Obama's abzurd assertions­.  Unemployme­nt's up to 9.8%.  3 million foreclosur­es so far, 11 MILLION IN THE PIPELINE!  Obama just got a NAFTA-like deal with S. Korea; that's more Americans' jobs outsourced overseas.
