Fox: Tax Hikes 'Impossible' Under Debt Deal? Think Again ...

Mr. 3 year old, big mouth Obama and his crew may destroy this yet.  Speaker Boehner is hearing all this and so are his republicans, and they are not liking what they are hearing!   Obama is a fool totally, and this should not happen...............

The debt-ceiling deal moving toward a vote in Congress could easily pave the way for tax increases despite Republican claims that tax hikes are "impossible" under a deal struck with the White House to reduce spending in exchange for a debt-limit increase.

But as everyone knows, "impossible" isn't really in Washington's vocabulary.

Here's how it could happen:

After Congress enacts more than $900 billion in spending cuts to give President Obama a $900 billion lift in the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, a bipartisan committee will be formed to find roughly $1.5 trillion in additional deficit savings over the next decade.

To get there, the committee is free to look at virtually anything -- including "revenue" -- even though House Speaker John Boehner said Sunday night that current budgeting guidelines make it "impossible" for the 12-member group to approve tax hikes.

Other officials and analysts beg to differ.

Boehner and McConnell are both deceitful lying cowards. Watch what happens with this debt deal. There will be no actual spending cuts year over year. Spending will increase you watch.Supposedly $7 Billion in cuts for FY12; from what base or baseline? As a Duval County Republican Precinct Committeeman I am disgusted by the Leadership of the GOP in manipulating this bill over the past weeks as well as with every Republican who voted for this HUGE SPENDING BILL with no actual deficit reduction! I will give a pass to Allen West and some other Freshmen who were ground down by Boehner but this is the last time. As for those like Crenshaw et al that voted for this, I am done with you. We need conservative trustworthy GOP candidates with integrity. Let's find these individuals ASAP.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
