The Norquist hostages in the GOP aren't merely opposed to a tax increase, they are opposed to anything that will increase government revenues.

So, they're against economic growth. Cool. They're posturing suddenly comes into focus.

"We need to take a long and hard look at the undergrowth of deductions, credits and special carve-outs that our tax code has become," Boehner said in a pre-election speech about his priorities. "And yes, we need to acknowledge that what Washington sometimes calls tax cuts are really just poorly disguised spending programs that expand the role of government in the lives of individuals and employers."

Dave Camp (R-MI) then Ranking Member nor Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee: "But we must admit that not all of that spending has been through increased appropriations or expanded entitlements; much of it has been through the backdoor proliferation of “tax expenditures” – provisions that technically reduce someone’s tax liability, but that in reality amount to spending through the tax code."

“Those are spending by any other name,” said [Alan] Simpson, referring to those so-called tax expenditures. “If the Republican Party is stupid enough to fall for the bait that reduction or elimination of tax expenditures is a tax increase, then this is a dull-witted party,” Simpson added.

The Norquist hostages in the GOP aren't merely opposed to a tax increase, they are opposed to anything that will increase government revenues.

If they are concerned about decreasing government revenue, they should legislate to reduce the size of Congress or at minimum the paychecks they get.

Why? What do their paychecks have to do with the deficit?

Now I've done that extensively but there isn't anything that reports on the Obama administration lavishing close to a trillion dollars on their boys. Not even Fox has reported anything like that. Should I check at lalalandnews.bs where you seem to draw your information?
