You wanted far larger tax hikes, I guess

So who pays for this bill, which increases the 2013 deficit by $330 billion and adds $3.9 trillion to the national debt by 2022?

If Americans want European style welfare state benefits, they need to start paying European level taxes for them rather than putting the costs on the next generations. This is generational theft.

THE REASON it adds to the debt is because the bill negates much of the 2013 tax increase. i guess some deficit hawks are aggressive tax hikers, but they usually don’t post here at Freeper.

Or,.... cut Federal benefits, which Obama offered to do but Republicans rejected allowing Obama off the hook with his own party who were angry about his offer.
