Once again, Republicans claim one thing, and then try to do another. This week's gem.
So the party which complains about wanting to control spending and balance the budget are complaining once again when Obama tries to balance the budget. First they complained about the cuts to the hyper-inflated defense budget, and now they're complaining that wealthy people can't do without the tax cuts.
Once again, the Republicans prove they are okay with cutting programs that aid people who need help, but not okay with cutting programs for people who make a lot of money. And they accuse Obama of engaging in class warfare.
Simply amusing.

Romney supports extending the tax cuts for all income earners.
Republican lawmakers immediately balked at Obama's call for a partial extension.
Extending the tax cuts only for households making below $250,000 costs the government about $800 billion less over 10 years than extending them for everyone. The full cuts cost the government about $4.5 trillion over a decade.
