tell them, we're paying for it by undoing the last tax cut you gave to corporations and millionaires.

Then EVERY SINGLE TIME they bring up the deficit, do the same thing, OK in 20** you enacted "this tax cut", we'll rescind it to pay for the deficit to help the underprivileged.

Let's get back to the Eisenhower administrations tax rates, see how they like that!
