So you agree that Senate Republicans are wrong in saying that extending the payroll(FICA/SS) tax cut must be paid for?
Yes, it’s a strawman argument intended to give lip service to the conservative spending cut agenda. Two separate unconnected issues.
Sadly, the RINOs still out number genuine Tea Party conservatives in the House. Their agenda is the demrat Marxist agenda. The whole idea of the so-called Super Committee was to result in tax and government spending increases. The things that prevented it from happening is the RINOs who’re up for reelection this cycle and Tea Party conservatives. The RINOs are hearing the message from home loud and clear. If you want to retain your position at the tax payer trough you better not get caught raising taxes and spending.
