Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that he is “disappointed” that his House GOP counterpart has given up hope in achieving a deficit deal this year.Reid told reporters that it is far too early to give up on the prospect of a bipartisan deal on taxes and spending during the lame-duck session after Election Day.He said Republicans need to look at the glass “half full” instead of “half empty,” noting that Democrats are willing to extend the Bush-era tax rates for 98 percent of American families.Earlier on Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner said he was "not confident at all" that the White House and Congress could agree to a deficit-reduction deal.
will we hear from ROMYAN that the Pres. walked away from this deal too? they already said they weren't going to do anything tillm after the election, like that was news they haven't done anything but obstruct which equals nothing
Unless Congress acts, domestic and defense programs will undergo automatic cuts adding up to $110 billion in 2013 and a slew of tax cuts will expire.
i hope the Pres. doesn't blink then watch the accusations and "we the people" who do we blame?
