Little by little Coburn seems to be slipping into that weird place inhabited by Newt/Bob Barr/Lyndsy Graham.

[Some conservatives in the Senate worry that Coburn, Crapo, and a third negotiator, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), might endorse tax reforms that would increase the total amount the federal government collects in taxes.]

??? As long as it is done with tax rate deductions and economic growth, I don’t see the problem. Tax hikes will not result in an increase in the “total amount the federal government collects in taxes.”

If they do, they should immediately be encouraged to commit Seppuku.

“Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), two of the chamber’s leading conservatives.”

What a total load of crap, they are NOT conservatives, they are socialists, not RINO’s, socialists.

Since this is based on conjecture (might do something), then I’ll hold my breath. It’s only Feb, so I’m still not ready to give up. Having said that, I am ready to work against ANYONE who continues to sink us further into debt while stepping on the throat of the taxpayer.

spending?
