My entire problem with the Republican plan is they want to make cuts, only. Cuts on things like medicare, medicaid, social security, financial aid. Things we need. Things we need because of this recession.
With the Republicans, taxing people who can afford to be taxed is NOT AN OPTION, because to get elected, they ran on platforms of NO NEW TAXES. Which means we keep up with the Bush Tax Cuts, which means we have no revenues.

Just politics as usual. Bullshit.
