The issue is with how it is going to be paid for. Republicans want to use unspent TARP funds that are sitting there not being used. Dems want to apply it to the deficit.
Republicans were elected on the platform of paying for what they purchase. Voters understand that means that the cuts won't be pleasant. When the new congress is active, it will get ugly. But there was NO reason for the Dems to try to stick this onto the deficit. The Dems continue to ignore their own "Pay-go" rule. And they wonder why they just got hammered........
