So let me get this straight. Republicans are so concerned at the state of the economy that they won't, nay can't, allow jobless benefits to be continued because of the damage to the deficit, but somehow are OK with extending tax cuts that contribute $2.2 TRILLION dollars to the federal deficit because... why again?
How are Democrats not making more of this? This is the kind of hypocrisy that is absolute gold in an election year, if only to sow the seed of "they can't make up their minds if they're for rich people or against the jobless."
This kind of dreck just really cannot go on. I'm not going to listen to another Republican who is supposedly deathly afraid of the deficit until they admit that it's OK to deficit spend and fund tax cuts instead of jobless benefits. Let's at least be honest about what's going on here.
