Yeah, less money in my pocket and the government still has the same issue.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied the companies' request for an injunction while their lawsuit is pending, saying the stores failed to satisfy the demanding legal standard for blocking the requirement.

I agree Marv that there needs to be compromise. Republicans are willing to immediately vote on a higher tax for those making $1 million or more. I would consider this a compromise to not raising taxes at all.

On the other hand, what have the Democrats compromised on? They're insistent on raising taxes on people making $250k or more. I have not seen anything else come from them, not even spending cuts or any other solutions.

I agree with Boehner's position to demand the Senate act first and pass the bill down to the House. The Democrat controlled Senate wants to push their agenda without compromise, I would say that it is the Senate that needs to act first then.

The second proposal from the Obama administration raised the limit to 400k+ and put Social Security cuts on the table. After that Boehner went off the reservation with a completely separate proposal with no chance of passing the senate and couldn't even get enough republicans to vote for it to even pass the house! Boehner has failed as a leader of the republican party.

I wonder if they plan on paying the fine then?

Well yeah, did you look over his offer? Cut more from medicare/medicaid to get more people into Obamacare. Sure, on paper you see a tax cut but you have more people forced into using Obamacare which the costs haven't been seen yet. It was simply playing with numbers. No true cost cuts.

Optimistic is $1.3 trillion in new income over 10 years, $1.2 trillion in reduced spending.. those are optimistic numbers. This means that in 10 years instead of going up, on pace right now for $10-12 Trillion in 10 years, we only see $8 to $10 trillion in increased debt.

They did mention some concepts about spending cuts for SS but really not positive about it.Let us face reality who really makes over $250,00 in these times except per haps CEO's and owners of companies. Not the average working stiff out there.
