There is no logic to the dog and pony show to sell progressives on the (bad) tax bill. First, the $900 billion added to the deficit is glossed over because Obama says that he's added some pork of his own to entice Democrats and balance the atrocity. But even worse: the other reason being floated is that tax cuts are so bad, in two years Democrats will win the election because people will see that tax cuts don't create jobs and thus vote for Democrats.

Are you kidding me? It's been 9 years and counting of Bush tax cuts yet the deficit has soared and unemployment is the highest it's ever been since the Great Depression. Furthermore, fewer jobs were created from 2000-2010 than any time in recent history---those are the facts and numbers. So what happened in November? Republicans swept the elections. If people ignored the fact that tax cuts for the wealthy harmed the economy and job market for the last nine years, why do the geniuses in the White House now believe in 2012 they will suddenly care? That logic didn't win for Democrats on November 2, 2010 and it won't work in two years either.
