above link talks about cost of Tax Cut extension (trillions) vs Unemployment extension (2.2 billion) Graph shows huge expense over 10 years for Tax Cut and scarcely visible portion representing the unemployment extension.
Ronald Reagan’s budget director, David Stockman, says that in this situation, a higher tax rate for the wealthy that “a conservative like myself would normally advocate†is advisable
Democrats! Stand for political and fiscal sanity! 4 trillion over 10 vs a 20 million for unemployment extensions. Ezra Klein: “that there are people walking around this town (D.C.) saying that they’re fiscally conservative and can do just one of these (tax cuts for the rich) and not the other (unemployment extensions) is unbelievable “
But it is not so unbelievable when one considers that this group is NOT about giving the straight scoop, or ANY ARGUMENTS whatsoever.
