In this first article, I am going to have to side with President Obama on this one because I feel that the United States needs a crucial economic victory and get this country back on its feet.  As the package states, I think that it is great that it has a 2 year extension on the bush era of tax cuts and that finally the people of the United States, not just some people in our country, can be grateful for a blessing and use it to better their lives.

I can say right now that this 1.27 trillion dollar bill is just going to put our country in even more debt and I don't believe that the government can't do anything about a totall shut down if the bill doesn't get passed.  Maybe I know too little about the subject, but I sure as heck know that the more we are in debt, the worse we are going to be down the road.

This is a very immature thing that both party's are doing I think.  Christmas is a time of celebration and giving and I think that they should pause the sessions in the senate until it is done.  It will do no harm.  Why can't each party just drop it and move on after Christmas?  I mean if its that big of a deal, then sure, go ahead and continue and let us all enjoy our Christmas but don't let it be our problem too.

I would have to agree with Senator Thune on this one because this bill will only increase taxes in the next few weeks if they don't wait for a perfect agreement.  I also agree that Senator Thune would be a stronger contender.
