Here is video of the GOP Senate Minority Leader – Mitch McConnell – on ABC News’ “This Week” where he said today that moving forward, there will be no further tax increases as part of the Debt-Ceiling Battle with President Obama. McConnell said the Fiscal Cliff deal just passed raised tax rates on the top earners, but that now “the tax issue is finished, over, completed.” What now must be worked out are spending cuts and reform of entitlements:

“Oh, yeah, the tax, the revenue, the tax issue is finished – over – completed. That’s behind us. Now the question is, what are we going to do about the biggest problem confronting our country and our future? And that’s our spending addiction. It’s time to confront it. The President surely knows that. I mean, he has mentioned it both publicly and privately. The time to confront it is now.”

This is the line they need to hold.

GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell Says No Further Tax Increases; It’s Time to Confront “our Spending Addiction” – Video 1/6/13

The Drudge Headline this morning, linking to this Breitbart story, pretty well says it all about the “Deal” passed by the U.S. Senate (89-8) last night to supposedly avoid the “Fiscal Cliff.” But the real “Cliff” of mounting debt and out-of-control spending by the Federal Government is still out there. It’s interesting to note that Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Rand Paul voted “No” on the deal. Both are possible GOP Presidential Candidates for 2016.

The House of Representatives has not yet voted on the “Deal,” and conservative House Republicans are not happy about the increase in taxes and almost complete lack of spending cuts in the deal worked out by Vice-President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

UPDATE 11:30 AM ET: Over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey thinks the House Republicans will “grudgingly” go along with this deal. But Ed sees a possible “silver lining” in the deal for Republicans:

“The deal did not include any resolution on either the sequester or the debt limit. If there is a silver lining for Republicans, it’s that they have successfully delinked tax rates and spending issues in this fight. The next round of bargaining will deal only with government spending, and House Republicans will have the debt ceiling as a powerful card to play.

With the Senate voting 89-8 in favor of the bill, I’d guess that House Republicans will grudgingly go along with the deal, with a big assist from House Democrats this time around. They have until tomorrow to get the deal done in this session of Congress, though, so expect to hear plenty of debate first. . . .”

U.S. Senate Approves “Fiscal Cliff” Deal that Raises Taxes and has Virtually No Spending Cuts; Faces House Today; Marco Rubio, Rand Paul Vote “No” – 1//1/13

Here is video of GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reporting “We have reached an agreement on all the tax issues” to avoid going over the so-called “Fiscal Cliff.” McConnell said a deal to extend current tax rates for most Americans is “very, very. close,” and that he would continue to work in the days ahead for ways to cut spending.

In other words, it appears Republicans are ready to agree to tax rate increases with no spending cuts. Dealing with the real Fiscal problem – runaway Government spending – is not going to be done once again.

Here is video of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on the Senate Floor this evening after meeting with President Obama at the White House this afternoon, where they both said they had a “good meeting” on the “Fiscal Cliff.” Both indicated they are “hopeful” a deal can be reached and passed before the January 1, 2013 deadline.

It’s interesting that the House of Representatives sent a bill extending the current tax rates to the Senate months ago, and have been saying the Democratic-controlled Senate and President Obama need to act on it. Now, just three days away from the “Cliff,” there is tacit admission by Obama and the Democrats that it is the Senate that must act – what the GOP has been saying all along.

Here is video of GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell calling Obama and the Democrats on their bluff of a “Fiscal Cliff” proposal. McConnell actually proposed to add Obama’s laughable “Fiscal Cliff” offer sent up by Tim Geithner as an amendment “as is,” giving Democrats a chance to support Obama’s offer. Obama’s proposal has no spending cuts and a massive tax increase, and asks for unilateral and unlimited power to raise the debt-ceiling any time he desires. Harry Reid refused to support bringing Obama’s offer to a vote because he knows it is a piece of junk.

Here is video of Sen. John Cornyn today on Fox News where he said President Obama’s actions indicate he actually wants the United States to go off the “Fiscal Cliff.”

Cornyn was reacting to the laughable plan put forward by Obama through Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner yesterday – a plan that featured tax increases, more spending, and no real spending cuts! Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is said to have laughed out loud in the meeting when he heard the proposal.

Here is video of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell saying he puts the odds at “50-50″ that the GOP will be able to take control of the U.S. Senate in November’s Election. Either way, McConnell said it will be a very narrow majority for whoever wins.

Here is U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell responding to President Obama’s claim that the private sector of the U.S. Economy is “doing fine.”

McConnell reminded everyone that the problem is not that Barack Obama has not gotten what he wanted to enact – the problem is that he DID get what he wanted! For two years, Obama was able to push through whatever he wanted – from the $1 Trillion “Stimulus” Boondoggle, to the “Cash for Clunkers” fiasco to the passage of ObamaCare, which McConnell described as a “job killer” for America.
