Alan Simpson Slams Fellow Republicans For Unwillingness To Compromise
If there were more Republicans like this man, I would still be a Republican. At least he's willing to tell it like it is.
Former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) lashed out at members of his party on Sunday, slamming them for their unwillingness to compromise on proposed tax increases.
In his characteristically colorful style, Simpson told CNN's Fareed Zakaria that Republicans' rigid opposition to new tax revenues has hampered productivity and diminished the chances of reaching an agreement with Democrats on debt reduction.
"You cant cut spending your way out of this hole," Simpson, who was appointed as co-chair of President Obama's Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform in 2010, said. "You cant grow your way out of this hole, and you cant tax your way out of this hole. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, we tell these people. This is madness."
