And even still the republicans offered to let the taxes on millionaires rise, but of course was immediately rejected, but not on record by vote in the senate. I'm glad the conservatives put their foot down and stopped negotiating against themselves.

If the senate doesn't want to offer and pass a plan, and would rather let taxes for everyone rise up right now, then so be it. That is the right they have, as provided by the people that voted them in.

And we'll all saddle up for the rodeo in 2014 and see where the people decide to cast their vote, and do it all over again.
