Dear Congressional Democrats,
I understand you don't like Obama's deal on the tax cut. I also see that you haven't managed to get one of your own passed. So how about this? If you think you can do a better job, on behalf of the American people, I urge you - GO FUCKING DO IT! Seriously folks, this is your job - to create legislation and get it passed. If you honestly think a better deal is available, write it up, whip your caucus, and go get enough Senate Republicans to support it so that it passes.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up. It's literally your job to get a better deal for us. Don't bitch when someone does your job for you because you're too fucking inept to do it yourselves.

2. They DID pass their version of the bill. The Senate changed
part of it, so it has to go back to the house to be approved or not..so far they have not approved of what the Senate sent back. It remains to be seen what the House will do with it. Their version was a much better bill. It didn't extend the tax cut for the rich and it did extend it for the under $250,000 taxpayers and it DID extend the unemployment.

4. Congressional Democrats = House and Senate.
If they did their job, it would be signed into law by now.

Obviously, they did not.
