Reports: President Obama might be ready to make an announcement.
The Los Angeles Times and many other sources are reporting Monday that a deal is emerging in the Senate that could result in a short-term solution to the year-end “fiscal cliff.” In broad strokes, it looks like taxes would be raised on folks making $450,000 or more a year. Vice President Joe Biden stepped into the picture and has an agreement allegedly with Republican Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell that could pass Congress in the hours remaining before a midnight deadline. What do you think? Is it better to go off the cliff or make a deal? Is this proposal right for America and folks who live here in Geneva?
Joe Biden and Paul Ryan sparred on Thursday night over domestic and foreign policy issues in Danville, KY. Who do you think won tonight's debate?
Most voters will probably agree that tonight's vice presidential debate was far more interesting than last week's first round of presidential debates this election. Both candidates came out swinging and didn't let up. The next debate returns the focus to presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney at Hofstra University in New York on Tuesday, Oct. 16. The debate begins at 8 p.m. Central Standard Time. Hey, Geneva! Who do you think won Thursday night's debate? Do you think it will sway independent voters?

B.O. does not care about our country he is an Anti-American and has a great plan to downsize America. And it looks like he has done a good job of it already in the 4 years in office. Americans will not allow him to destroy this great Republic any further… more ›

Let it happen. It's what we need to do--cut spending & raise taxes. We got ourselves into this mess, and this is a necessary solution to get ourselves out. We've already had all the legislative battles concerning priorities, so just cut everything 10% across the board. Raise all taxes ten percent and shut up about it, already. Bunch 'a whiners! ;) more ›
