Harry doesn't know why no tax increase when Dems ruled

Why, Harry? If tax increases are of essential importance why didn't you raise them when you controlled everything from January 2009 to January 2011?

Weekly Standard asked Harry. He doesn't know. Leadership? Harry hasn't done a budget in three years. The law requires him to do a budget. What does he care what the law says?

Weekly Standard

TWS: Leader Reid, when it comes to the Bush tax cuts...why didn't Senate Democrats push through this bill back when you controlled the Senate, the House, and the presidency?

REID: The tax cuts weren't about to expire then. So that's why we're doing it now.

TWS: You could have foreseen this issue two years ago.

REPORTER: What are you talking about? They expired at the end of 2010.

REID: And that's why they were extended one year.

TWS: Why didn't they vote when you could have pushed this bill through and had it signed into law?

REID: Next question.

Harry Reid - the best the Democratics have. ??
