What They Said!

"Unnecessary, irrational and unaffordable." The Washington Post editorial page on eliminating the death tax. Can't say it any clearer.

With Republicans maintaining tight control of the House it is obviously going to pass there. Thankfully I don't think this will get anywhere in the Senate, where it will be nearly impossible to get 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. With the possible exception of Nelson of Nebraska, I don't think any Democrat will vote for any new tax cuts now. There are also a few remaining fiscally sane Republican Senators like Chafee, Snowe,Collins, McCain etc.that have publicly said that they cannot support any new unfunded tax cuts.

I suspect that the House leadership knows this and is forcing a vote to get Democrats to vote in record for a "tax hike". The Dems need to stay firm and not be intimidated. Let them try to paint them as opposing tax breaks for millionaires while Medicaid is being cut.
