The 2011 terms of the Budget Control Act will go into effect Jan. 1, 2013. Mandatory budget cuts, the end of the Bush tax cuts, and new Obamacare taxes will begin. While no one wants to see the U.S. plunge off the “fiscal cliff,” partisan politics may make it difficult to reach a compromise.
Take our poll: Should House Republicans compromise with Democrats and agree to trade increased taxes for budget cuts?

We need to cut all the wasteful spending. Like the so called contributions to solar energy like Solyndra that went bankrupt.
All I can say is that it is time that the American People go to Washington and Fire each and every Congressman,Congresswoman , Senator, State Rep and the moron president of U.S. We are tired of all of your lies, your wasteful spending, your lavish vacations on taxpayers money, the first lady is vacationing around the world and wants the American people believe that she is paying for these vacations how stupid does she really think we are. The president only get 400,000 yr salary unless he is getting paid by other countries to sell the U.S. out. (wouldn’t doubt it) obama’s kids go to the best schools, and amazing how obama himself or his family will not be covered by his own insurance policy that he is forcing on the the american people, and all of the congress,senators and house representatives have placed clauses in the bill to keep them safe from his obamacare. All of you politicans in any office are LIARS AND THEIVES. SHAME ON YOU. LIE JUST TO GET BACK IN OFFICE. I PRAY THAT TEXAS DOES REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM THE U.S.. YOU PEOPLE HAVE PUT THE U.S.A IN THIS DEBT BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORANT AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING. OBAMA DOESN’T CARE WHAT HAPPENS HE GOT HIS PIECE OF THE PIE AS HE PUTS IT, HE WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE EVERYTHING, HOW STUPID ALL OF YOU THAT VOTED HIM BACK INTO OFFICE. you don’t have anything and guess what He doesn’t care. He Used You.Thanks Alot….
Well said Elizabeth, I couldn’t have said it better!!
Not any more Texas fault than any of the others, all do it..
Amen Elizabeth.. You are right on… I feel so angry at the things going on in Washington that we are now powerless to do anything about and it gets worse by the moment. He is a muslim that is going to destroy us. He has things going into effect that will affect us all negatively in our lives. The ones in the WH are exempt from all that effect the people.. . It is just so flustrating to sit and watch all he is doing to us and no recourse what so ever…
Excellently stated, Elizabeth. I couldn’t have put it any better than that!
I don’t know why you are blaming TEXAS.. We did not vote for Obama.. we are a Red state.. and all 50 states requested secession. So why are you down on TEXAS? You seem to be double talking there…Or are you from TEXAS like I am and wish we could Secede.. I am confused at what you said there.
Why do I after compromise, when I don’t Know what the Democrat wants? I know the want taxes from very rich.and Bush taxes expire…this is the only think I know…..

Give Obama everything he wants! Then he can not blame anyone else, and those fools who voted for him will be forced to take off their rose colored glasses and face REALITY!. The mainstream media won’t be able to cover up the fall out. When the dems are finally thrown out of the Senate and the White house,only then can things be reversed!
I think that it is high time that the republicans let this country go over the fiscal cliff because that is the only thing that the Demoncrats understand. We will be going over the cliff if the demoncrats have their way eventually-so why not stop them NOW.
it is time for bipartisan politics.the nation is more important than our party principles and ideologies.Plug tax deductions and cut Medicare,Obamacare and Social.Put the country on the long term path to solve our debts.The question is whether they have the courage to do it or they are just a bunch of sissies.
Since when is Social Security and medicare an entitlement? We paid into it along with our employers.
Sir I agree except the most cuts should be in true entitlements, such as food stamps, disability and welfare. Obama changed sll those so people can just draw their money, not even look for jobs, so that needs to be changed.
My husband and I could get food stamps, but we do Not, so here is a challenge to others on very limited incomes to do as we are, help the country, do not ask for food stamps. Cut out all the unnessary things, if you smoke, quit, will kill you anyway. Look how much edible food you can get for the price of a pack of cigarettes. People need to cooperate too.
Heck no! We in the middle class get like 20% of our paycheck cut from taxes. We don’t need more! Tax everyone the SAME percentage! Be fair!
NO DEAL. Never trust a Washington DC Democrat. They are, as a group of drones, a spending phenomenon that cannot be stopped with facts or logic. We must throw them all out at the ballot boxes in coming elections.
“We must throw them all out at the ballot boxes in coming elections”
How do you suppose we do that when the elections are rigged for demonrats?
My thoughts exactly.. We will never have another fair election. This is twice. Shameful..If the repubs are not allowed to work the polls and voter ID which obama will not allow then we are sunk.
Obama did not win the election. He is a usurper and a fraud. There were so many reports of fraud. Chicago union and thugs busing people from chicago into Wi to vote at all the polls state wide, No voter ID required. some places obama got 147 % of the votes…explain to me how you do that? This happened in more than one state…And nothing is being done about this. Also in 1982 Carter passed something and the then Repubs signed it that the Repubs could never question or protest an election results if fraud was suspected. I found this in researching and this is what it stated… This may be the reason Romoney did not or could not protest the fraud. This needs to be done away with but you will never get it done with Obama in office . They would never let that be dismissed.. The american people need to know about this and raise all kinds of hell about it…
