(Washington, DC) -- Republican congressional leaders are reportedly agreeing to billions of dollars in revenue increases as federal deficit discussions continue.
Republican Senator Jon Kyl announced the move today saying revenue increases don't necessarily mean tax hikes.
On the Senate floor Kyl said, quote, "If the government sells something and gets revenue from it, that's revenue."
He also suggested user fees for government services could provide additional revenue.
He says all the revenue increases Republicans have agreed to amount to between 150 billion and 200 billion dollars.

Well, if they agree to sell off a few huge tracts of federal land to US private interests that would be ok. Like coal, oil and gas bearing properties.

"If the government sells something and gets revenue from it, that's revenue." You mean like, selling land that was bought and paid for by the TAXPAYERS? That kind of revenue?
These people are such shysters they don't even hide it anymore. PATHETIC.

In other words, Senator Kyle proposes charging for services your taxes have supposedly already paid for. Roads, bridges, airspace, parks, waterways, etc etc etc.

"Revenue increases" equals tax increases or new taxes period, the government has no other way to get revenue unless they mean print even more money which is not a revenue increase at all but a debasement of what we already have. However they do it, it's coming out of our pockets. There ain't no free lunch to be had anywhere.

That damn Kyl is abandoning ship this time around. What the hell is he doing getting involved in this battle against the commies? He needs to take his scooter and go the hell home now. He’s a quitter.

Well didn’t you just know the GOP would cave. Tammy Faye will come out on TV and sniffle a little into his hanky as he gives us the usual “Thats all we could get” excuse. It never ends.
