Jay, are the Republicans allowing military cuts? Are they okay with any tax increase? Both are needed or the entitlement cuts will be useless.
So at least Obama has tax increases, all the Reps have is entitlement cuts. You say both sides are bad but you attack one and defend the other. The fact remains one side is going to have to give first before anything can be done. I'm thinking the Reps have no idea how and the dems are sick of being the first to cave (in the name of releasing the Republicans' hostages, the people. If the Reps.were open to a tax increase and military cuts, real ones, I'd agree with you. As it stands though, neither side has an "at least" to their name. Their idiocies are in different areas but they cancel each other out.

I for one, Would not take the House GOP to real serious about making this deal...until they put taxes increase on the table!
Jay IMO the GOP plan would hit Seniors the hardest
This grand deal in the end is lots of smoke and Mirrors

I definitely agree. I do not agree, however, that the republicans should agree to any tax increases without real spending cuts.

It is the right thing to do? Why? Those making 20% of the income pay 40% of the income taxes, and you claim that isn't fair to the lower classes of income earners?

Absolutely. At the same time, the democrats should not agree to spending cuts if they don't include the military and come with a tax increase. If you're looking for one side to blame you'll never find one. They've taken a hardline opening approach to this which is fine, it is a negotiation, but it's time to stop the opening round grandstanding and really sit down. Right now everyone is just looking for who to blame. I hate to say it, but I do think that, due to Obama being President, it's the Republicans' place to extend the first real olive branch or act of good faith. It would be the reverse if a Republican were in the White House. There has to be a point where the Republicans can not like the man but still respect the office. That's something they have done for a long, long time.

They have. They have said that tax increases are on the table. The Dems have yet to put ANY cuts on the table, and in fact demanded $50 billion more stimulus spending.
