The only way they are scoring a $2 Trillion decrease in the $8 Trillion increase in spending is by also accepting $3.6 Trillion tax increase by letting the Bush cuts expire.
This is a total catastrophe. More taxes to pay for some of the increase in spending.
Republicans are signing up for higher taxing and spending.
If they vote for this, they are finished as a party.
