middle tax cuts and raises taxes for the other folks, these democrats go home to their districts and the people say, you guys did this to us, you can t handle pelosi? good-bye and good luck. i think in tennessee where, some are suggesting pelosi step down. sam, obviously nancy pelosi and progressives on both coasts would consider it a betrayal if tax cuts were extended for all americans. i tell you, she has a guy that s been out there running. it seems to me that tax cuts even on the top earners is seen as a drag on the economy. i don t know if they d see it as a betrayal. i remember you talking to ezra yesterday. he said that people should be comfortable with the temporary extension got to pay for it. yeah. the issue here the what are we talking about in terms of deficit? we ve spent the past two years, year and a half talking about ballooning deficits.
