Jeb proposes serious tax cuts

[tyroneweaver]

Is that the truth or a half truth. Would the dems go along with reducing government?

Here is your word for the day...PAY-GO...

Now look into how many Republicans voted for PAY-GO...

Senate passes pay-go rule on party-line vote

The Senate voted along party lines on Thursday to adopt statutory pay-go rules in a party-lines vote.

60 Democratic senators voted to adopt the pay-go measure (short for "pay-as-you-go"), which would require that new spending measures be offset in the budget by other funds, typically raised through tax increases or cuts to spending.

Republicans have said that by installing the rule, pay-go would become an excuse for tax hikes, since spending cuts are frequently unpopular.

All Democrats voted for the measure, and all 40 Republicans voted against it. The House adopted such a rule in a 265-166 vote last July.

President Barack Obama urged senators to move forward with the new rule in his State of the Union address on Wednesday night.

"When the vote comes tomorrow, the Senate should restore the pay-as-you-go law that was a big reason for why we had record surpluses in the 1990s," he said.

Obama's remarks came within the context of a broader effort toward deficit reduction, in addition to a three-year freeze on non-defense discretionary spending, and a commission on deficit reduction established by executive order.


"Grover Norquist has no plan to pay this debt down. His plan says you continue to add to the debt..."
Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.)

If I was a career politician I probably wouldn't like Grover Norquist either

Norquist is a great guy...all he wants to do is drown our government in a bathtub...

How about massive tax cuts for the middle class (those making $50k to $149k), massive tax cuts for small business (less than 20 employees) and self employed.

I've had it with the demonizing the wealthy as a solution to help the Middle Class. It does not work.
