Thom talks to Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff (Boston University, PJ Institute of Pajamas Media) on why are conservatives ok with raising the debt ceiling only at the expense of the poor?

4. K&R!

So sad that every TV appearance Republicans make does not ask them how they can do that while leaving multimillionaires with their tax breaks.

The automatic "tax cuts to the rich create jobs" argument can be countered with facts. In Bush's term after the tax cuts we still lost hundreds of thousands of jobs.
