(Washington, DC) -- Republican congressional leaders are reportedly agreeing to billions of dollars in revenue increases as federal deficit discussions continue.

Republican Senator Jon Kyl announced the move today saying revenue increases don't necessarily mean tax hikes.

On the Senate floor Kyl said, quote, "If the government sells something and gets revenue from it, that's revenue."

He also suggested user fees for government services could provide additional revenue.

He says all the revenue increases Republicans have agreed to amount to between 150 billion and 200 billion dollars.

The democrats are playing this deficit ceiling fight perfectly. They are strengthening their liberal base while getting their opponents base ticked off at them.

The GOP IS the stupid party. They are being played like a fiddle. AGAIN.

No, Sen. Kyl, revenue increases ALWAYS mean tax hikes.

If you don’t understand that, you will when we throw your butt out next go’round!

[M Kehoe]

Are we gonna sell San Francisco to the chicoms?

Just a FRiendly reminder to the Pubbies. We are watching you too.

Shouldn’t ya wait until they announce a deal before you go off half cocked. I don’t recognize this news source do you?

November 2012 can NOT come soon enough and we need a woman in the whitehouse to CLEAN UP THIS MESS! President Palin, we NEED you.

A-freakin'-MEN!

[Atlas Sneezed]

Great! Sell the Post Office!

Sell TSA!

[chiller]

Thanks, Oceander....I'm not piling on yet-- as everyone else here is so anxious to do - until I hear details. Every pubbie I hear is firm on tax increases.(not happening) I suspect they're giving Obie a morsel, so he won't look de-pantsed when forced to submit to huge budget cuts and no tax increases.

We'll see, but hold your damn fire, everyone.

[upchuck]

If you [Sen Kyl] don’t understand that, you will when we throw your butt out next go’round!

Sen Kyl has announced his retirement from the Senate. Won't be a next "go round." He's the perfect drone to announce the cave. He's gone. He doesn't have to worry about pissing off the voters.

BTY, Kyl is from Arizona. There have been rumors that the reason Sarah Palin bought a home in AZ is so she can run for his seat.

[luvie]

Figures. He can screw up and blame it on the other guys.

I want her in the White House not in that den of corruption
called houses of Congress!

Just sayin’.......

[Dahoser]

Here we go again.

I am flabbergasted.
They are clueless.
It is time to set the Nation straight.
IT IS NOT OUR FAULT. IT IS YOURS!!!!!!!!!!

To Soros...Spooky Dude...
TREASON!

[RockinRight]

Selling Fed land I am fine with. Fees? Possibly acceptable, but easily can become a slippery slope. Plus, with the GOP track record of bending over, I want to see details before I endorse it or get mad.

[cableguymn]

Listening to the levin reply. Looks like he is trying to get a hold of kyl to find out what is going on.

[RKBA Democrat]

“So the government shouldn’t sell off any of its holdings?”

No.

[TennTuxedo]

If a a tax increase is agreed upon by enough members of the GOP to put it over the top, I will never vote GOP again. it will be time to vote libertarian.

[tutstar]

figures their spinelessness would show

[familyop]

"Great! Sell the Post Office!"

Agreed! But the Ayrabbs would probably reject the deal, unless they only got the buildings. ;-)

Maybe TSA could get paid for Breast and Prostate exams they perform? They could send the info directly to HHSA, and the IRS could then send the bill.
