Repugicans unveil plan to add $4 trillion to deficit

Haven't they added enough economic problems to the US economy to last a few lifetimes?

Once again the repugican plan is to rally 'round the richest Americans and then stick the bill with the shrinking middle class. This is insane.

From the Washington Post.

Even as they hammer Democrats for running up record budget deficits, Senate repugicans are rolling out a plan to permanently extend an array of expiring tax breaks that would deprive the Treasury of more than $4 trillion over the next decade, nearly doubling projected deficits over that period unless dramatic spending cuts are made.

The measure, introduced by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (retard-Ky.) this week, would permanently extend the shrub-era income tax cuts that benefit virtually every U.S. taxpayer, rein in the alternative minimum tax and limit the estate tax to estates worth more than $5 million for individuals or $10 million for couples.
