tax that was to expire on 2/29. Congress couldn't come up with any way
to pay for it, so they decided just to add it on to the debt!

The result of Obama manipulating the issue to make it look like the Republicans, who were trying to cut other stuff to pay for it - and facing complete opposition from O and his Dems - look like they wanted to raise taxes on the little guys and leave the wealthy alone. The result has been Republican capitulation rather than lose the elections this Nov. So now the voters are, as usual, being bribed with borrowed money they will have to pay back in the future.
I swear by Jupiter Optimus Maximus .... in the army of the consul Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus and for 10 miles around it I will not steal anything worth more than a sestertius in any one day.
