Meh, future generations will assimilate. This is a huge fuss about nothing.

Actually the "future generations" are not assimilating. They can't. Some pockets can, but not the vast majority. Sweden for the Swedish.

That type of mentality is what aided in Fascism's ascendancy in the 1930s. Ethnic nationalism is very dangerous.

The rest of FDR's Bill of Rights.

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"]So what's everyone placing their (figurative) bets on? Which option do the Dems take? 1)Do they call the Republicans' bluff and allow all tax cuts to expire, leading the Republicans to claim that the Democrats let everyone's taxes increase despite the fact that the Republicans are now holding tax cuts for 98% of Americans hostage so the top 2% earners can get a tax cut as well? 2)Do they give the Republicans what they want only to have the Republicans paint them as incompetent (not exactly untrue, granted) and still refuse to work with them on issues in the future? 3)They work out some kind of compromise? I don't really see this one happening at this point, but what the heck - I'll throw it out there.chessmaster1989

They're going to cave and extend all the tax cuts.

I honestly don't care about that if the two parties both take a serious look at spending cuts (including defense, SS, Medicare) and tax reform.
