Obama’s Fiscal Cliff Proposal: $1.6 Trillion In Tax Hikes, $50 Billion In Stimulus Spending, Obama Can Raise Debt Limit Without Congressional Approval…
WASHINGTON D.C. – The first serious proposals from the White House to solve the looming “fiscal cliff” of tax rises and budget cuts appear to have been rejected out of hand by Republican leaders in Congress.

Considering President Obama is running $1.1 Trillion annual deficits. And considering his requested Tax increases on the rich would generate $85 Billion a year in revenue.
So lets remove some zeros:
If you had to spend $11,000 in tolls to get to work each year and your boss was going to pay you $850 reimbursement. Would you keep the job ? Or tell him he’s nuts?

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
