billion in new revenue, new taxes. if you do that by closing loopholes or other ways around. now, to come to numbers like that, you think it would be more difficult to pull the democrats or more difficult to pull the republicans? a lot of those cuts could be doing things like cutting tax breaks for businesses, and other special interests that are out there. and that is something that i believe plenty of people in the tea party and others might sign on to. i think it would be more difficult to get republicans to come on to that bargain because they have a bright line on taxes. democrats, as i mentioned a but if you re talking about cutting loopholes and cutting tax breaks that certain people are getting, we have grover norquist joining us today. he might not say that what is raising taxes. i expect he would say that is raising taxes. look, the president said in our interview two weeks ago that tax rates are a thing of the past. raising tax rates are a thing of the past.
