and the b in plan b is just bizarre. this raises taxes for the middle class. yeah. it is true that it raises taxes on people over a million dollars. but you lose the earned income tax credit. you lose the child care tax credit. you lose tuition tax credits. it s another shot at the middle class in order to protect the richest. so when you take a look at how this is starting to unfold, it doesn t look like a deal is anywhere near close. i mean, we re at a stalemate with the days down to what, 18? what does this say to the american people? here we are, we re having a discussion about gun laws. if we can t get our act together on our, you know, fiscal house in order in any way, shape, or form, how are you going to get anything done on gun laws? well, it s going to be hard to get anything done on gun laws. it s going about the hard to get anything done on anything when you have a tea party that continues to run the house of
democratic votes. it is not a plan, it is a stunt. and i don t believe that democrats should be supporting a stunt like this. democrats have shown an ability to compromise. democrats have shown an ability to try and meet republicans. and when we are met with a stunt like this that doesn t solve the problem but simply continues these cliff-hangers every several weeks, we ought to say no to the republicans. so this is a non-starter. and the b in plan b is just bizarre. this raises taxes for the middle class. yeah. it is true that it raises taxes on people over a million dollars. but you lose the earned income tax credit. you lose the child care tax credit. you lose tuition tax credits. it s another shot at the middle class in order to protect the richest. so, when you take a look at how this is starting to unfold, it doesn t look like a deal is anywhere near close. i mean, we re at a stalemate with the days down to what, 18? what does this say to the american people? here we are, w
