SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARN…. | The Washington Monthly
How does Gregg propose the government pay for those tax cuts? He doesn’t — the cost would just be added to the deficit, the same way they were added to the deficit when Republicans approved these tax breaks in the first place. Indeed, as far as Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) is concerned, lawmakers should “never” even try to pay for tax cuts.
Let’s be real clear about this. When Democrats propose extending unemployment benefits in the midst of an unemployment crisis, Republicans insist that’s out of the question and refuse to allow the Senate to even vote on the idea — the deficit matters more. When Democrats propose aid to states to prevent hundreds of thousands of additional layoffs, Republicans insist that’s out of the question and refuse to allow the Senate to even vote on the idea — the deficit matters more.
