It's looking like they will not get this through the Senate without the "Corker Amendment" (geez, here we go again).

And if the Senate passes it with an automatic tax hike built in, there's no way it passes the House.

[Ted Grant]

How about an additional automatic trigger to lower taxes if the economy improves based on the same metrics?

[kevao]

Have they even said what the trigger would be? It will probably be something unattainable, like 10% GDP growth or something.

Let’s have a tax cut trigger when Corker and Flake leave.

They could just be a little more transparent and simply direct that every American to sign a half dozen blank checks made payable to the US Treasury and mail them to congress.

deficit hawks who worry that tax cuts for businesses and individuals could add trillions to the mounting national debt

Cut the stuff that you have no authority vested to you by the Constitution. That will drastically reduce the hemorrhaging, and probably create a surplus that can actually reduce the debt, while still allowing more Americans to keep what they earned.

The democrat party will be making commercials that the republicans are raising taxes and spending.
They will be correct.
