"That’s the (fair) title of this blog post over at National Journal‘s Influence Alley:
The federal government needs more money. That’s one thing both parties can agree on, Republican and Democratic lawmakers said Tuesday. The rub, of course, is how to get it.
Reps. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., and Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa. said at a National Journal panel on Tuesday morning that there’s no question that more revenue is needed. Democrats say they can raise the money by letting upper-income tax cuts expire, while Republicans say economic growth alone will help raise the cash.
“We need more revenue,” said Roskam, the House GOP’s chief deputy whip. “If you can get the money to satisfy obligations, that’s an area of common ground.”
Let’s hear it for duopoly, eh, comrades?"................................
I wonder if we will see after the election in the lame duck Congress a ObamaCare style deal to settle everything, pass it before any voter or special interest group gets to see it, and let the lame ducks in the House & Senate look to be the deciding votes.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
LOL, the congress is just now figuring this out after 4 years of Trillion dollar deficits. These guys are pretty sharp. "We need more revenue" LOL Hello McFly!
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
