The Bush/Obama Tax Cuts

By Big Tent Democrat

The Change:

Congress at midnight Thursday approved an $801 billion package of tax cuts and $57 billion for extended unemployment insurance. The vote sealed the first major deal between President Obama and Congressional Republicans[. . .] to prevent an across-the-board tax increase that was set to occur if the rates enacted under President George W. Bush had expired, as scheduled, at the end of the month.

Booman says:

[. . .] I am not disappointed. We had a great two years. It should have been a lot better, but we did well. We'll be longing to have it this good for a long, long time.

(Emphasis supplied.) Those were the days! Heh.
