5. Maybe because he didn't want to see $2000 taken from families of 4 at the poverty line in the middle
of a recession?

Letting the tax cuts on the rich expire would have been fine. They weren't going to spend the money. The problem was that this wasn't an option by itself. The economy needs to be doing better if it is going to withstand the 3.2 trillion hit it would take if the tax cuts for the NON-rich expired.
