Obama wants more taxes

Paul Ryan's First Tax Legislation Adds Nearly $100 Billion To Deficit
Posted: 02/04/2015 3:08 pm EST

WASHINGTON -- The first bills promoted by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as the new chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee would add nearly $100 billion to the deficit over 10 years.

Ryan, a deficit hawk during his time as the chairman of the Budget Committee for the previous six years, made his fame proposing budgets that aimed to dramatically cut domestic spending and balance the budget within a decade.

But in his first legislative act as head of the committee that will be central to expected tax reform efforts over the next two years, Ryan pushed through a package of seven tax cut bills that would add $93.5 billion to the deficit in the next decade.

The largest, a measure that lets small business write off expenses more quickly, would add $77 billion to the deficit.

Other measures would allow companies to inflate the value of food donations (including things like old Twinkies), make it easier to donate retirement savings, and conserve land, among other things.

Although Republicans generally require new expenses to be paid for by cuts elsewhere in the budget, they don't when it comes to tax cuts. As a result, none of the proposed measures came along with savings from another portion of the budget.

who do you think you are talking to? We don't care what is wrong with Ryan, or any other republican for that matter. You better start working on defending all the attacks on Hillary, and you know damn well some of them are pretty incriminating.

If she proposes a losing budget I'll bring it up.
 
More taxes, more spending, more debt. Well, it has worked so well so far, so let's keep going. Look at all the countries that have taxed, spent and borrowed their way to prosperity!
 
More taxes, more spending, more debt = Ronald Reagan!

Even as a governor, he raised taxes across the board.

like we love jeb bush, boehner and mcconnell.
democrats and republicans are a lot like protestants catholics and jews. Most of them (us) are just born that way. My parents always voted a straight republican ticket (and even sent them money, (and my Dad was about as cheap as they come.)) My girlfriend's father was a Union organizer. We never did trust each other all that much.
