In other words, according to Mr. Norquist’s interpretation of the Americans for Tax Reform pledge, lawmakers have the technical leeway to bring in as much as $4 trillion in new tax revenue — the cost of extending President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for another decade — without being accused of breaking their promise. “Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase,” Mr. Norquist told us. So it doesn’t violate the pledge? “We wouldn’t hold it that way,” he said.

The budget is the dimwits fault. The house passed a bill and sent it to the senate but reid and the idiot dimwits failed it. Lets see them and obamaturd come up with their own plan instead of twiddleing their thumbs and blaming the republicans when they actually try to do something. The dimwits are do nothing twits, and any one who agrees with them also!!!!Looks like norquist put it out there, to give Boehner & Cantnor cover because of their untenable position. now he's back-pedaling to make it look like a mis-speakCats already outta the bag Grover lol He caved
Well, I'm glad that Grover Norquist gave them permission...
GN doesn't want to kill his cash cow, Americans for Tax Reform, to do so would mean he would have to work for a living.

Norquist is running the country now?
Fucking great.
Clinton also said Grover Norquist, who as president of Americans for Tax Reform is the GOPs unofficial enforcer of no-new-taxes pledges, has a chilling hold on the nations lawmaking.
The former president said it has seemed like Republicans need any revenue concessions need to be approved in advance by Grover Norquist.
Youre laughing, he told the crowd of 800. But he was quoted in the paper the other day saying he gave Republican senators PERMISSION on getting rid of the ethanol subsidies. I thought, My GOD, what has this country come to when one person has to give you permission to do whats best for the country. It was chilling.
Looks as though Norquist threw a life-line to the foundering House repubs seeing as their intransigence was untenable & would bring the Teapublicans down in '12. It goes w/o saying that most Teapublicans signed his pledge.

I thought the Republicans were suppose to be representatives of the people who voted them in. Not Grover Norquist's lackeys.
