The ultimate cost, nobody is looking a deficit anymore, i get that but if the president was always on board, something were generous and this is more generous, could that close the deal, does that mean the deal is more likely when he himself has upped the price tag on it. My Organization National Taxpayer Union has been saying for months, what a negotiating tactic is to talk about topline numbers. What if going on a walk down memory lane we had lawmakers that thought about the impact of their policy rather than whether or not they were spending too much or too little, thats why were in the situation to begin with and why deficits and spending are so out of control because members of congress are talking about the price tag rather than the effect this relief could have, i think its very important that congress does continue to support the economy, were in very in certain times, whether or not your spending 1 trillion or 2 trillion should depend on what youre getting for the 1 trillion i
