RAISE TAXES OR WE’LL WALK OUT! Remember Deathcare on Christmas Eve shoved down out throats…BOHECA!

It all adds up to major obstacles ahead of the supercommittee’s Nov. 23 deadline to propose $1.2 trillion in budget savings. Failure could shake confidence in world markets and spark automatic cuts across the federal government starting in 2013. Talks about restructuring the so-called trigger of spending cuts has grown more serious in recent days.

Democrats have called for about $1 trillion in spending cuts — $350 billion of which would come out of Medicare and $200 billion out of defense programs — coupled with $1 trillion in higher tax revenues, a non-starter in the House.

Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), who served in the House for 10 years, said Toomey’s branding on the proposal helps, but supercommittee members ignore the lower chamber’s hesitance about revenue at their own risk.

“That’s gotta be a consideration, because raising taxes is a concern for a lot of guys in the House,” he said.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), a close friend of Boehner’s who has joined bipartisan calls for $4 trillion in deficit cuts over the next decade, put it even more bluntly.

“That is a concern,” he said, referring to the hesitance of most House Republicans to vote for revenue increases.
