| Kantor said: Okay, granted, the tax increases are less severe than what would have taken place over the fiscal cliff, but they are still there, and Congress will have to go through this whole fiasco again in two months because they still haven't cut spending. And the2real4mafol's signature is full of leaves.
Spurgeonryan's has quite a few as well.

The vast majority of Americans didn't get a tax increase. Less than 1% of Americans earn over $400,000 a year. That's a pretty big difference from every American that earns a wage getting a tax increase. And in fact, the tax increase that was set to happen was built into the Bush tax cuts, and delayed by Obama for a couple of years after that. So in fact, it's a permanent (that is, without a time limit) tax cut for everyone (yes, even those earning over $400,000 a year - look into the mathematics of how taxes work). It's a matter of high comedy that you Americans have let the Republicans convince you that this is somehow a massive tax increase by Obama.
As for spending cuts, it's not like they've cancelled them. They're just delayed by two months, because apparently, they realised that more dealing was needed to actually come to a suitable compromise, and since spending is such a snarl of issues, it'll take more than a couple of nights to actually address it.
Oh, and as for leaves, I have display of signatures turned off, so for me, the picture you posted is the first sign of leaves, as far as I can see.
