My first thought too. Why not Ryan. He is a budget genius.
I have a bad feeling about this. I hope the GOP realizes if they vote to increase taxes, they are dead to me.
Remember, anything recommended by this committee has to be passed by the House. I don’t think the house will vote to “increase” taxes, if you are talking about tax rates. However, if the committee chooses to recommend closing some tax loopholes in exchange for deeper spending cuts I might be able to support that.
