He then changed that to $700 Billion over ten years.
Now we have every Democrat and their Media cronies saying $700 Billion, period. This of course gives the impression that those evil Bush Tax Cuts “cost” $700 Billion a year.
Senator “Tubs” McCaskill was out there yesterday comparing the $700 Billion gift the Republicans were giving the Evil Rich against the measly $58 Billion (?) that extending Unemployment for a year would cost.
Which sounds worse, $700 Billion for the Bad People versus $58 Billion for the Poor Little People OR $70 Billion for the Bad People versus $58 Billion for the Poor Little People?
They control the language and the information while the Republicans stand back and let them get away with it.
One other thing, notice how the story about Google hiding money overseas that would have resulted in $50 Billion in additional Tax Revenue to the Treasury never really caught fire in the news? I did.
It has a whole lot more to do with the media. When the Republicans stand up to set the record straight, the MSM cut the mikes and walk away.
