I thought the dems were against tax cuts for the rich and for business? lol.... They also agreed for the first time to allow oil to be exported. They also agreed to postpone Obamacare taxes..... Sounds like the dems can't get it together. What did they get? Perhaps another Solyndra.

Democrats complained that the tax bill was unbalanced, dispersing 60 percent of its permanent reductions to business and just 40 percent to families.

Pelosi, D-Calif., called that disparity "practically an immorality." Michigan Rep. Sander Levin, top Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said pumping up federal deficits would make money scarcer for domestic programs. "This is too high of a price to pay," Levin said.

But Democrats were divided over the budget deal. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., pronounced the budget agreement "a good compromise," and the White House wrote in a letter expressing support for the accord that it would "help to grow the economy and build middle-class economic security."
