PAYGO vs. CUTRUN

Posted by Charles II on January 6, 2011

Why has it taken longer than 30 seconds for the Ryan budget rules to be called not CUTGO, but CUTRUN?

That’s what the Republican plan is: cut revenues, then run away from the consequences.

It is not reasonable to cut taxes ahead of cutting spending. It is not reasonable to cut spending ahead of a sober assessment of need.

Democratic PAYGO vs. Republican CUTRUN sounds like a soundbite battle we could win.
