Jake Tapper to GOP senator: You gave me and Anderson Cooper a huge tax break



CNN host Jake Tapper questioned a Republican senator on Wednesday as to how the GOP could talk about curbing growth to Medicare and Medicaid just after giving Tapper and fellow CNN anchor Anderson Cooper "a huge tax break."

In an interview with Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), Tapper questioned how Toomey and other Republicans could talk about making cuts to federal entitlement programs while simultaneously lifting taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

"We've got entitlement spending that is not sustainable," Toomey explained. "These big spending programs that are growing faster than the economy, you can't tax your way out of that problem. You've got to make some curbs."

"But just to play devil's advocate, you're going to say that about Medicare, and welfare, and Medicaid, and the like just after you gave me and Anderson Cooper a huge tax break?" Tapper responded.

"Yeah, I'm going to defend the proposition that tax reform should be about maximizing economic growth, and if we do that by the way then we also maximize revenue," Toomey responded.
