Ignore Bait Dunker, he long ago achieved troll status.

Solid speech, which seems to my ears to be compelling, reasonable, and well argued. Meanwhile, on an election that largely turned on "deficit outrage" I find it laughably insane that we're about to pass a "compromise" today that extends unemployment (unfunded) AND extends these very same tax breaks on the top earners (also unfunded).

I know a reasonable number of folks who will BENEFIT from the tax break, and not one of them believes it's justified, nor will it affect their hiring/investments in their businesses.
