9. But it should not be so hard to cut through that crap

Oct 2012

Chris Wallace asked a couple of questions about deductions and then gave up. Martha Radditz asked a couple of questions and then gave up.

You can't reward these assholes for stonewalling. Biden (last night) or Obama (next week) need to say, "look, if they want us to believe that you can cut tax rates and actually have the same amount of money coming into the government, then they have to tell us either what deductions they will cut or what assumptions they are making for growth. Without that it is just a flip-flam. We're all here right now. Just tell us the answer. It will only take 60 seconds. I'll be happy to give up 60 seconds of my time to finally get a straight answer on this. What are you hiding?"
