So the guy who thinks "virtually everybody" is wealthy thinks keeping "virtually everybody" wealthy won't cost the government a bit, or at least it doesn't matter if it does.
Earlier this week, Vitter doubled down on his deficit hypocrisy and told WorldNetDaily radio that paying for the Bush tax cuts for the rich would be a “recipe for disaster.” He added, “I don’t think we have to quote unquote pay for” the tax cuts:
VITTER: We aren’t talking about any additional cuts, we’re talking about keeping the present tax cuts in place. If we have to pay for keeping the present tax cuts in place, every year, every other year, that’s a recipe for disaster. That’s a recipe for significant tax increases, so I don’t think we have to quote unquote pay for that because it’s about Americans keeping their own money and our simply keeping the present tax rates in place.
Vitter has no explanation on how to quote unquote pay for the $678 billion it will cost to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Of course neither does any other Republican.
