I don’t know about that- someone has to pay for the additional 13 months of unemployment and related benefits.

I have no idea what you’re talking about now.

We’re not paying for that, in the current plan. The people making $250,000 and above are getting the tax cut extended. We’re spending into a larger deficit. That’s the whole point.

But if we did, in fact, raise taxes on people making above $250,000— then the additional burden on someone making $250,000 would be zero.
