Combine expiring tax cuts as well as reducing spending, particularly deficit spending, and I think we're getting somewhere.

So, you'd prefer to increase tax obligations to individuals in a shaky economy, when many folks are already having difficulty paying their bills? I'm with you on the spending comments, however. Frankly, I think it would have been possible to get both spending cuts and tax reductions, but the Repubicans continue to demonstrate that they don't know how to negotiate.
