Read the full pdf. It’s a disaster. On one hand, they say they aren’t taking a position on spending cuts versus tax increases. On the other hand, they mention new revenues three times in a favorable light.

Expect the dems and the liberal media to glom on to that and make political hay of it.

They are essentially blaming the GOP for not letting “revenues” be raised - tax hikes and elimination of tax breaks!

I know they mean "revenues" as a synonym for raising taxes. But, given the long historical evidence that revenues change as a result of the status of the economy, and not as a result of tax rate changes--wouldn't "raise revenues" properly mean "improve the economy"?
