Keep in mind that the only reason there's an expiration date on those tax cuts at all, is because various Democrats refused to vote for it unless he put in an expiration date, ten years after he passed them. Originally, George Bush designed them to be permanent cuts, that would not expire.
Republicans have since successfully enacted delays in the expiration but have been unable to eliminate it, due to Democrat insistence that they expire.
Now we are coming up on that (delayed) expiration date, on Jan. 1, 2013. Republicans have again been fighting to get rid of the expiration, but Democrats have been insisting that the expiration take place. Most recently, the Democrat have been saying that they must expire for higher incomes only, while Republicans have stuck to their insistence that nothing expire - that the tax cuts remain permanent.
In a crowning absurdity, Democrat have now announced that it's Republicans' fault that the tax cuts will expire! And this after more than ten years of Republicans trying to get them to get rid of the expiration date and make the cuts permanent, while Democrats, after putting the expiration date in in the first place, have steadfastly fought to make sure the DID expire.
You voted for it, Demmies. Now you can lie in it. And they do, they do.
