States like New Hampshire, where Anger Central is located, would have probably had to put in a state income tax and sales tax to pay for the mess. The problem is, that would have been nothing more than a short term fix and the taxes would have had to continue to raise taxes with the corresponding collapse of the economy. But hey, the only math Progressives are good at is figuring out their golf scores.

I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a lot in it I will hate, but it is a starting point. More importantly, the American people will be able to read it and decide for themselves if this is what we\u2019re looking for. If it isn\u2019t? Then we call our representatives and inform them that we do not like the bill in it\u2019s current form. We shall see what happens in the next few months.
