The Speaker’s swift rejection of an idea floated by Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), a respected party strategist and former chairman of the House GOP campaign committee, came as Republicans voiced increasing concerns that the debate over the so-called “fiscal cliff” had become dominated by talk of taxes rather than spending.
Comparing the nation’s spending crisis to a “freight train,” Boehner said “it’s time for the president and Democrats to get serious about the spending problem that our country has.”

IT NEEDS TO GO OVER THE CLIFF.
Congress including republicans approves the spending and they are just as bad for kicking the can down the road as long as they have.
This dog and pony show is to just make it look like they really are working on solving the economic mess this country is really strapped with.
It may take a higher debt to finally get this weak economy started, the debt can be managed over the long term without leaving it all for the nations children.
We need to get American's working again and the pride and rewards will come with that transition.
If a statue of Boehner is ever created I hope it depicts him with his finger stuck out.We need to hear answers,not more problems.Supposedly the best and brightest are working in our behalf.If ever I was unable to do a job I was fired.
