Those spendthrift Republicans are at it again. Giving a huge tax break to the rich (think Theresea Heinz Kerry and Dick Cheney), while raising the debt limit again. I can maybe buy a tank of gas with my tax cut. So much for the party of fiscal responsibility. Am I the only person on this board who doesn't think this is a good idea? Link to both articles below; my emphasis.
"Democrats also cited a joint study by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution that shows taxpayers with incomes greater than $1 million per year winning tax cuts of $42,000 under the bill while families with incomes of $50,000 a year would average a $46 tax cut."
"A $2.7 trillion budget plan pending before the House would raise the federal debt ceiling to nearly $10 trillion, less than two months after Congress last raised the federal government's borrowing limit."
