The tax increases eventually have to come in order to start eliminating our national debt. But the fact of the matter is that right now is not the time to start increasing taxes in order to be fiscally responsible. Economic downturns can be curtailed big time by government spending - government deficit spending of course.
I don't see Progressives up in arms over this. I only see people who are wanting to find fault in Obama upset over this. Ideology is fine and good, but times like this call for pragmatism and the reality is now is not a good time to raise taxes. Too bad the resident Joe the Plumbers can't see the forest for the trees.
