I hear that too - mostly as a strawman argument from people who don’t want to engage the real issue of how much taxes are going to rise.
I wouldn’t deny at all that I’m one of those people/progressives/whatever who think about cost second to cause. Mostly I feel like if it helps a major issue in a major way then we’ll find a way to pay for it. Basically get it going and then shuffle things around.
I know, I know… that’s not how a fiscal conservative does things and I do appreciate that SOMEONE is doing it. My personality does not allow for that type of thinking. I’m more of a bull in a china shop but it does get things moving. We need a broad variety to cover all the bases.
