The Bush tax cuts were put in place by the GOP in 2001 and 2002 with a built in expiration date (More irony...they put in a 10 year expiration date as a parliamentary trick so the bill could not be filibustered) It was extended for 2 years in 2010 by the GOP with Obama's very reluctant support. I'm sure Obama will gladly accept the "credit" for the demise of the Bush era cuts on those making over $250,000 (I know that includes a big shot like you WW), but the GOP will get and deserve ALL the "credit" for the increase on us peasants who must muddle through on our widow's mite.

Personally I hope the T party crowd refuses to vote to extend or replace any of the tax cuts...in one "swell foop" we would immediately see a lot of our fiscal difficulties greatly improved and the T party's demise would be assured!

PS: My original question to MM and Mr H remain unanswered....SOP for MM but a bit surprising for Mr H. I'm glad to credit WW for actually giving an answer...in fact a good one which is pretty much in alignment with my thinking. Lord, I hope that doesn't cause WW too much pain ;>)
