GOP: No more help for jobless, but rich must keep tax cuts
SHOPPING'S BACK FOR THE RICH



WASHINGTON — Republicans almost unanimously oppose spending $33.9 billion for extended unemployment benefits for some 2.5 million people who've lost them, because they say it would increase federal budget deficits.

At the same time, they're pushing a permanent extension of Bush administration tax cuts, especially for the wealthy, which could increase federal budget deficits by trillions of dollars over the next 10 years.

How do they justify this?

"Tax policy is dynamic. If you have the right kind of tax reform, it helps generate a more dynamic economy," said Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, which writes tax law. While that may be true, even the Bush Treasury Department concluded that its tax cuts increase budget deficits.

1. Every single Democrat in government should be shouting this from every rooftop they have access to.

This should be on billboards all over the country. Every news program should be headlining this.....

How many Americans do not have any idea that this is true?????????
