\u201cSo it wouldn\u2019t hurt my feelings at all if we pushed this whole things into next year,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are a lot of people advocating for it, saying this is the best that we can get. But I\u2019ve talked to a number of the conservatives today who have grave concerns. I know a lot of them won\u2019t vote for it unless it\u2019s paid for. I don\u2019t think the Democrats are going to cut spending enough to pay for this.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m glad the President recognizes that tax increases hurt the economy. I mean, I guess that\u2019s progress. But frankly, Hugh, most of us who ran this election said we were not going to vote for anything that increased the deficit. This does. It raises taxes, it raises the death tax. I don\u2019t think we needed to negotiate that aspect of this thing away. I don\u2019t think we need to extend unemployment any further without paying for it, and without making some modifications such as turning it into a loan at some point. It then encourages people to go back to work. So there\u2019s a lot of problems with it. I mean, and frankly, the biggest problem I have, Hugh, is we don\u2019t need a temporary economy, which means we don\u2019t need a temporary tax rate. A permanent extension of our current tax rates would allow businesses to plan five and ten years in advance, and that\u2019s how you build an economy.” read on<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cSo it wouldn\u2019t hurt my feelings at all if we pushed this whole things into next year,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are a lot of people advocating for it, saying this is the best that we can get.
