The Republicans may have used it for tax cuts...but again, that is a BUDGET/REVENUE issue. Healthcare is not—of course it has costs, but it isn’t something that is currently being funded....I think that is how it works.
I don’t even know if the R’s did use it for tax cuts in 2001...I know several Democrats voted for the tax cuts.
Why doesn’t someone out them (dems)on those points? The American people are not stupid. We “get” this stuff now.
