Oh, for crying out loud, the MSM always says that someone is "going to pay for the tax cuts."

It was an aide to Romeny who said it was going to "cost" $250 Billion. He insinuated that it was going to be a net loss in revenue to the government. It wasn't the MSM that made that claim, it was Romney's guy.

From the article:

Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney is calling for a package of tax breaks expected to cost $250 billion, an aide said on Friday.

The aide is not directly quoted, as in, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney is calling for a package of tax breaks "expected to cost $250 billion," an aide said on Friday.

It's an old reporter's trick to put words in someone's mouth.
