What is it with liberals and passing legislation and then figuring it out later??

First we had Nancy Pelosi's famous "we have to pass it to find out what's in it" and now we have Cynthia Nixon, who's running for governor of New York, stating, in regards to universal health care in the state, "pass it and then figure out how to fund it."

Cynthia Nixon on getting single-payer health care in New York: 'Pass it and then figure out how to fund it'

Typical left logic(?) - govern by/from/with emotion and let common sense be hung from the nearest tree, or flung into the nearest mine pit!

There is always the Golden Goose of the taxes bled from oi polloi (The irredeemable deplorables clinging to their guns and bibles, eating of the crumbs from the master's table) to tap into

This is what the Republicans did with their tax cut for the rich. It will end up raising the deficit by $1.7T.

Tax cut for the middle class. It raised taxes on much of the rich. Tax revenue will actually increase.

No, FTW, is correct. We need to cut government spending in order to match the cut in taxes. We could start with PBS. I know it is too small but every penny counts.
