Chris Wallace Wants To Know Why GOP Supports Bush Tax Cuts But Not Unemployment Benefits



On Fox News Sunday yesterday Chris Wallace demonstrated once again that is not willing to jump on board the Republican talking points wagon all willy nilly. Wallace pressed Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) yesterday on why the GOP seems so adamant about keeping President Obama from extending unemployment benefits without being able to pay for it first, but they want to extend the Bush tax cuts for free, as it were.

Pence essentially side-stepped the issue eventually saying, after Wallace wouldn’t let the topic slide, that the tax cuts encourage people to spend and therefore are good for the economy.
It's times like this, when we see Republicans showing blatant hypocrisy on key issues, that the "Party of No" label takes on some credibility.
