(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.

"Evidently the story was wrong."

Please ignore the title written by a liar, and listen to the slimeball in the C-Span video. You'll hear the same words written in the article posted above.

No, we just know Sarah's track record in cutting corruption while Governor.

You, on the other hand, sound like pissant.

Cheers!

“Shouldn’t ya wait until they announce a deal before you go off half cocked.”

Hey, flying off the handle or “half cocked” is quite common around here. Just the other day, ABCNNBCBS said that Jim Demint said the moon was made of cheese and he was called a RINO by numerous posters. /s jk

Verifying sources and attribution is not an attribute of a number of posters on the site, so we have to get over it.

Kyl is retiring.
I am hoping Sarah Palin will run for his open seat.

I heard Levin talking about this and Kyl was actually blowing the whistle on the debt ceiling talks and letting us know what the R’s have “already” given in on.
I thought he was giving us a chance to get on the phone and call those stupid ones and remind them of a few basic truths.

Yea, if they’re flappin their lyin.

[kempster]

So all that alk about how it would ruin the economy more than it already is was just b.s.? No money from me. Tea Party for me.

"Don’t worry; I have a feeling that any “revenue increases” which don’t include a tax hike will be balked at by the Democommies."

I suspect the same, and even the Dems know the effect that fee increases against consumers in general would have. They're experiencing a general slowdown from discontent about many problems, and the lack of activity is not something favored by most bipartisan, corporate-government high rollers.

“You, {rabscuttle385) on the other hand, sound like pissant.”

Actually, Whiskers, he is pissant, jr. Or he could be the real pissant, aware that he was gonna be run outta Dodge, so he got an alternate moniker so he could continue to trash Sarah Palin. Of course he has to avoid glorifying Duncan Hunter, the Falcon Party (also known as the Buzzard Party)and Jim Demint or he will be outed.

However, in reality, he is just a pissant wannabe, scared $h!tle$$ to say who he is barking for.

“If the government sells something and gets revenue from it, that’s revenue.”

No problem with closing some loopholes or selling some things but if these asshats think they are going to raise taxes and not pay for that at the polls....they are dumber than I thought.

Hey you guys, this is serious business.If the debt limit is raised, it will be followed by printing of more worthless fiat money, ergo the inflation rate will go up irregardless of what the mullahs in Washington. They are not going to release the real inflation rate, but ask your wife about it. She sees it every week in the grocery store. Get ready for some bad times.

[luvie]

Well, I hope that’s what he was doing. I thought we all could trust him amongst all the others! They had BETTER do the right thing or there is gonna be a revolution in 2012!

IF Sarah doesn’t run for president, then running for his seat would be a good strategy. You know how I feel though. :)

Thanks familyop.

"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... to amount to between 150 billion and 200 billion dollars.

He also suggested user fees for government services could provide additional revenue.

Unless you reduce the taxes that are currently required to pay for an existing service, a new user fee on service is like raising taxes.

If you watch them very closely, including watching them through the Thomas site (legislative information from the Library of Congress), you'll know what they do. You'll know, after they do it.

It depends on whether revenue increases means ending the giveaways, deductions and exemptions for various constituencies and K-street-connected boors, or if it actually means rate increase.

I’d aceept eliminating all the K-street crap and other giveaways for all individuals and corporations, in exchange for lowering individual and corporate rates to 25 percent or less.
