There’s nothing more important to the economic recovery than getting the tax situation worked out. Remember, the Bush tax cuts will expire for everyone, including the middle class, if Congress takes no action. If this move forces action on extending the tax cuts, I’m all for it. There’s nothing else scheduled in the lame duck session that can’t wait anyway.

Right. Unemployment insurance. Start. DADT. These are all things that will be brought to the floor when the new congress gets in. And defeated.

There is no bigger canard then the tax cuts are key to economic recovery. It was a canard when they were enacted. It’s a canard now.ca
