If you want to talk about a deal to raise taxes in return for spending cuts, I would say okay...if you reversed the order.
When spending is cut by a particular amount, then taxes could be increased by a certain amount...as long as the tax increases were across the board.
Any time taxes are raised with the promise to cut spending...we only get the tax increases. The spending cuts never seem to happen.
The Republicans would go along with that...probably including the Tea Party guys. But I really don't think the Democrats would like it.
Oh, well.
