I just read the Republican House "counteroffer" that reads more like what they wish Santa Obama would leave in their Christmas stockings.

Republicans want to keep all of the Bush tax rates but accept new revenue of $800 billion.

How to get the $800 billion? "through pro-growth tax reform closing special-interest loopholes and deductions while lowering rates". No details because they know they can't raise $800 billion that way without squeezing the middle class.

At the same time Republicans want more than $l trillion in spending cuts than Obama already gave them....cuts from Medicare and Medicaid, mandatory programs, changing the consumer price index and further discretionary spending.

Nothing on their wish list is backed up by actual, substantive policies. It's like the Romney/Ryan campaign rhetoric...just trust us.

Same old, same old...the middle and lower classes get the short end of the stick.
