Does the bill include a way to fund it per Pay-Go?


Big spenders will always find justification for destroying our children's future with this generation's debt. Democrats have had four long years to propose tax increases. If they want to spend and tax, grow a pair and do so, but don't steal from our children.

Republicans would rather keep their tax loopholes open instead of taking care of first
responders, repugs only care about themselves.

Oh please with the hardliner talking points. How many of you hardliners are willing to pony up with some of your own cash to pay for this? How about if they said we will increase taxes on every working american $100.00 per pay check to fund this. Would you still be ok with it? I doubt it if you are honest.
Now if they said we will pay for this bill by taking money from our foreign aid budget, Dept of energy budget, and a few others I would be all for it.
But no way do I agree with a tax increase. We had no problem raising just about a billion to rebuild Haiti. The question is do we take care of our own first or not? How do we pay for it?

Sorry guys, thanks for helping out with that 9/11 thingy but we can't afford to keep you alive and cut taxes. You understand, but I can use my US postal privileges to send an official card to your widow. Best Wishes, your Senator.

The unfortunate truth is not far from what you are saying. Sad.

The bill's supporters could also find areas to cut.

Have they proposed any, or are they building liberal monumnets to their own benevolence with money stolen from our children?

I would like to see the bill's supporters on this thread address that directly.

The debt is now mathematically impossible to pay off. It simply doesn't matter how they pay for it since the country is going to implode in the near future. I support this bill.

Thank you for the most straight forward answers, and the truth. Thanks time and time and time again, for telling it as it really isn, no bull from you as from others. So very true what you say abotu Haiti, no one seems to care just how much money went for that.

You have made a claim. Back it up. Name the exact loopholes the repubs created and the vote count that created it,
that you so despise.
