Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said Congress will have to raise taxes to resolve its budget impasse, making him yet another top Republican to suggest that the no-higher-taxes pledge may be outdated. …

If taxes aren’t raised, Corbett said, “every state is going to be affected” through cuts to military contracts and spending for senior citizens, special education and other programs relied on by millions. …

Something tells me that Chicago’s fall is going to be more cataclysmic than that of Sodom.

Corbett appears to be just another incompetent insider politico more concerned about maintaining government than finding better ways of governing.

Well Gov. Panzy Corbett, lets agree that PA will use the same solution to solve this fiscal problem, raise your own damn taxes and fix you own states problem. Texas will be glad to do the same if it means getting the feds noses out of our arses. You have two choices cut spending or raise taxes. Choose and wipe your snotty nose. If every state told the feds to get bit, what would they do? What could they do? They can’t even get the mail done right.

Why can’t they just SFUP? Deflect the question and let the rats make all the statements on this. Are they so desperate for media approval that they would piss off the only people that might vote for them? Do they think all the dependent rats will vote for them over a democrat? Jeez. And then they will have the gall to ask for our support.

What a moron! I guess that none of our lawmakers have ever had to manage a household budget, and has never heard of controlling spending.

Maybe Corbett should show some fiscal constraint and responsibility instead of joining the Democrats who only know how to tax and spend. Or, as the case is now, to spend and spend and then tax.

We are surely on our way to a one party system in the USA, like Cuba, China, and Venezuela!

Looks like most spending was due to ‘War on Poverty,’ and Poverty won ...

Well....if you are not Third Party Conservative by now...you are not a conservative. Hope you like voting for liberals

Seems like more GOP want to raise our taxes than do Democrats

Never trust a PA republican...and while I know it ruffles feathers I include Rick Santorum. He was a Hillman protege. Not one of them do I trust!
