    According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, Speaker Boehner’s alternative to the still-in-progress fiscal cliff negotiations with President Obama would permanently extend the 2001/2003 tax cuts for incomes up to $1 million and provide a total tax cut of $3.9 trillion over the next 10 years.

    It is outrageous that the President and Treasury Secretary would prefer to drive this country back into a recession instead of working with Republicans on tax reform – tax reform that can and will raise the revenue they are demanding. http://1.usa.gov/Uq5EHc
