    Yesterday
    U.S. Senator Mike Johanns: "Blindly raising tax rates, as some are suggesting, is not the right answer. The solution to our debt crisis must come from targeted spending cuts, an overhaul of the tax code, and reforming the programs that account for most of federal spending."
    What to Expect from the Fiscal Cliff
    www.johanns.senate.gov
    With only four weeks before the end of the year, the fiscal cliff remains the top priority in Washington. At the stroke of midnight on December 31, all Americans will pay the price if the President and Congressional leaders cannot reach an agreement.

    In 2010, President Obama said it was a good idea to extend all tax rates because it would be harmful to the economy to do otherwise.

    GDP growth for the first 3 quarters of 2010 was 2.4 percent. GDP growth for the first 3 quarters of 2012 is only 2 percent.

    If it was a good idea to extend all tax rates then, why is it a bad idea now?

    John Cornyn: "A truly balanced approach would have to include major spending cuts and entitlement reforms … If the president is going to claim a mandate for governing, then he has a responsibility to offer a genuine solution to America’s fiscal challenges."

    Washington Post: "Mr. Obama has understood this since at least 2009, when he told The Post’s editorial board that he would tackle entitlement reform.

    “'What we have done is kicked this can down the road. We are now at the end of the road a...
    nd are not in a position to kick it any further,' he said then. 'We have to signal seriousness in this by making sure some of the hard decisions are made under my watch, not someone else’s.'”

    If President Obama believes the ultimate goal of fiscal cliff negotiations "has to be jobs and growth," why does he want to RAISE taxes on nearly 1 million small businesses?

    Then-Senator Obama: "The American people want less partisanship in this town, but everyone in this Chamber knows that if the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting, the bitterness, and the gridlock will only get worse."
