God, you people are so partisian, you can't even determing what's in your own best interest. Pay as you go, doen'st give Democrats the authority to do anything they can't pay for. There are enough republicans and moderate democrats to stop liberals and progressives using the tax code willy nilly.
You guys need to wake up. And I've got to say, it was the scrapping of Pay as you go by the GOP that cleared the way for Dubya's tax cuts and his drug bill; because they didn't have to figure out to pay for them
Think how different it would have been if Dubya had to come up with $350 billion is spending cuts at the same time he gave the rich their tax cut. There would be no deficit. No deficit means that pulling the economy from the brink of disaster would not have been as expensive. And who knows, if they had paid for all of their great ideas, the economy may not have run off the cliff at all!!
I don't know why they don't get it. Pay As You Go is self explanatory.
There's nothing in it that says raising taxes is the way to go. Spending only what we have is how it was done during the Clinton years. That's what we need to get back to.
