Tax cut backers can't have it both ways
How do those people who want “all” the Bush tax cuts to continue expect to pay for the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and also aid returning the veterans who will need help, medical or otherwise, when they return home? Do they think the cost can be paid with a “support the troops” bumper sticker on their car?
It's ironic that the same people who want to balance the budget want to continue with tax cuts for those who benefit the most out of living in America, an America that exists only because of veterans fighting our wars keeping us safe.
