As you can see, that is what they are doing. I am glad the Senator brought this up. As I just read, my research found that the term ``red herring'' comes from the sport of fox hunting.

They want to distract Americans from the real driver of our deficits and debt and the real choices Democrats have to but are refusing to make. Let me walk through some examples. If we were to raise the depreciable life on corporate Jets from 5 years to 7 years, as the Democrats propose, it would yield us $3.1 billion over 10 years.
