Congressional Democrats are currently battling it out over a budget. But there seems to be one big piece of the Obama agenda that is missing from their plans: Obama's beloved middle-class tax cut. If you'll remember, much of these tax cuts aren't even tax cuts at all, more like welfare for people who don't pay taxes. But the idea was quite effective at getting Obama elected.

OMD Director Peter Orszag says, "while 98% of the budget mark-ups in the House and Senate are on par with the administration's budget blueprint, some campaign trail promises, like middle class tax cuts, may get left on the cutting room floor."

Now don't get all grouchy just yet. His middle class tax cut does appear in his economic stimulus package. Otherwise known as the government growth bill. So once the people get used to the idea of this "tax cut" there is no way that the Democrats are going to take that away.

By the way ... really do need to remind you. These people don't pay income taxes. What Obama is calling a "tax cut" is really government checks TO the taxpayer instead of checks FROM the taxpayer. Nice way to build government dependency.
