Final point: These dollars won't be used for deficit reduction. Democrats and the President have signed seven bills, $625 billion of tax increases, in the last 2 years. Guess how much went to deficit reduction? Not a dime. It all went to expand the government and double that to a bigger government. Let's stop playing games. Let's get real solutions. Let's have an up- or-down vote that extends tax relief for all Americans, that helps move us into the next 2 years, and let's stop that ticking tax bomb.
