Taking it off the top in revenue or off the bottom in spending makes no difference to the deficit, it differs only symbolically to republicans as they are pathologically unwilling to reduce the deficit with any kind of taxation at all.
Wrong, they offered 400 billion in new taxes, the Democrats refused because it would have required cuts to match. What you mean to say is the Democrats refuse to cut anything.
They have cut a lot but there is only so much you can do with discretionary spending, No way to cut our way out of debt with that alone, there has to be some new revenue from somewhere to replace all they have allowed people to keep instead of paying in. Not familiar with the offer you are talking about but any offer of a tax hike by republicans is just a scheme to shift the tax burden further downward.
Super committee the Republicans made the offer the dems refused. SO you are gonna claim that the paltry 30 billion cut the dems agreed to is all we can cut? And that 400 billion in new revenue is chicken feed?
Can we say PARTISAN HACK?
