House Republicans have been going on TV saying that they want NO net tax increases (loop hole stuff) because Democrats would just spend the 'increased revenue'

I believe the same thing, except it's not just Dems. With Dems or irresponsible Republicans in charge, they spend more than they take in.

A little hard to spend if all tax increases always decrease revenue. You see the problem? This made up hoax has bothered me for a while and I used to argue about it alot. One told me when he gets a tax cut like FICA he spends it ( right !) and it stimulates the economy. That's looks like Keynesian stimulus to me.
