Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) says that revenue is going to be on the table in upcoming budget talks.
Cole told Bloomberg Television that Republicans need to be ready to consider trading new government revenues for entitlement savings as part of a deal to roll back automatic sequestration cuts.“The reality is, you're going to have to have a deal here. And a deal means everybody gives something up,” said Cole, a member of the budget conference and a leadership ally. “Now, again, we're much more into what I'd call pro-growth revenue.”
again the republicans are rolling out the old dusty issues they've ignored for years, they needed to be ready 5 years ago but they were stingy and greedy remember Beohner and that crap eating republican grin "i got 98% of what he wanted" which was a lie and he recently renewed that false claim,
they are sending messages to their gullible base that "business as usual and we're winning" that's why they all melted down 2012 they had been told all is good and it wasn't it was a bald faced lie to get them out to vote.
Both top Democrats and Republicans have said that they're not expecting a broad budget deal to emerge by the Dec. 13 deadline.does that mean that republicans are again speaking out the side of their necks? like a Kumbaya moment is just round the bend.But Cole said he still thought there was a better than even shot that the conference would reach a deal.The agreement, Cole predicted, could involve curbing tax breaks — something he acknowledged made some Republicans uncomfortable, and an idea that he said pushed him beyond GOP orthodoxy on tax policy."It depends on how big a deal the Democrats want to do and whether or not we want to connect this with a larger tax reform issue, which I think we can and should do," Cole said.
now it depends on how big a deal Progressives want that sets a limit, assuming that they are perched for a overblown wish list that will not be fair or evenly placed. they are not known for limits they are the all or nothing party so is this a false claim to a fake change, you know like normal. they have already thrown down the gauntlet they have referred to the debate as a fight that's coming the thrilla in house using words like leverage, it is more of the same just a different day.
