Here comes the cave

The Hill:

House Republicans on Wednesday showed a new willingness to talk about closing tax loopholes

caving in to the Democrats ( FIFY)

in the context of negotiations to raise the nation’s $14.3 billion debt ceiling.

The signal was made by Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the man who left debt talks led by Vice President Biden two weeks ago...

...and is a proud member of The 92 (which is all you need to know, really).

The GOP’s move was seen as a positive sign...

by Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself)

that a deal will be reached

taxes will be increased, while the deficit remains untouched ( FTFY,T)

...
"If the president wants to talk loopholes, we’ll talk loopholes,” Cantor said, with one caveat: Any revenue gained from ending a tax break should be used to lower other taxes, the second-ranking House Republican said...

Yah, yah, yah... more RINO promises.  BTW, how’s that light bulb ban repeal goin’, Mister Majority Leader, hmmm?

That drew a sharp response from Democrats, who said the demand would prevent them from winning any deficit cuts through the elimination of tax loopholes.

To which, Bill Quick:

...Never, not once, not one single time have... tax increases ever resulted in those taxes being used to decrease the national debt.

But unlike elephants, RINOs never remember.
