1. I think that the overwhelming majority vote to extend the taxt cut only shows how much it's really needed. It will help to support American families and small businesses as well as boost the American economy. However, several House Democrats are talking of a full return of the estate tax which would make it much harder to pass on small, family-owned busineses.

2. I think that passing a 2 billion dollar bill in such a short time with no time to examine it, is a little bit rediculous of our congress. At the very least, it should be well thought over before it is passed. In the meantime, the president needs to hurry up and put in some kind of stopage measure so the government isn't shut down.

3. I think both sides are at fault. The Republicans are obviously a big part of the delay to the vote on the bill, but i think that is what's needed. It would be irresponsible to pass a bill they didn't know enough about or didn't have enough time to look into which is what the Democrats are trying to do. However if the Republicans are wanting to delay it, they shouldn't be complaining about having to work on christmas.

4. Well, it is a very expensive plan and we really don't have money for it with the state of the economy. But the tax cuts really are needed. It don't think I know enough about it to know exactly how it would affect most people. However, for two congressmen to go against the beliefs of their party, it can't be too good.
