It's a simple question Leader McConnell, how will you pay for the Bush tax cuts?

1. Before the Bush tax cuts 23 million jobs created.

After the Bush tax cuts 15 million jobs lost.

Before the Bush tax cuts. 200 billion surplus.

After the Bush tax cuts.

13 trillion of debt.

Every time the GOP talks about jobs, tax cuts for the rich or the deficit. The Dems should automatically smack them in the head with the
these facts.

11. Very good!

Send to all Dem candidates!

2. Just like Dick Armey. You ever notice how Republicans

always give a stupid laugh or dumber smile when they are called on their BS.


It's amazing. Is it in the genes.

3. Duh

[TomCADem]

4. Wow, This Is The First Time I've Seen A Sunday News Type Follow-Up.

Normally, they just let the Republican ignore the question and recite their talking points that the tax cuts are sacrosanct, and say that they will cut spending without identifying what will be cut.

[demi moore]

5. cut the spending..

what spending do you want to cut? we will tell you when we take control. muahahah.. oops was that out loud..

6. and it doesn't work

Not sure who said it, but I read it here on DU. I would love to see somebody ask this human plague the followig question.... If these Tax cuts lead to creation of new jobs, why don't we have new jobs? It is still in action today, right? If so, where are all of these jobs that they claim these tax cuts will create?

[davidhilton]

7. His logic simply doesn't work.

[Hissyspit]

10. It's not intended to work.

It's intended to muddy the rhetorical waters and frame the issue. And THAT does work.

[obxhead]

12. That's because he said nothing logical.

All he did was avoid the question.

[liberal N proud]

8. Current tax policy was that the give away to the rich was to expire

McConnell is missing the point.

[BlueMTexpat]

9. He wants it both ways.

And he was really annoyed that there was any follow-up at all.

[tomm2thumbs]

13. why does he keep wanting to show us how little his brain is?

he needs to put his pinched finger show away - and take the GOP with it
