House Republicans Bill adds $25.3 Billion to Deficit

It appears obvious that whether a U.S. Congressman has a D or an R after their name there is little separating the two parties these days when it comes to deficit–spending.  This could explain why the latest Real Politics Congressional Job Disapproval rating is 82.5%, leaving Washington lawmakers with a dismal 12.0% job approval rating.

For further evidence that there is little difference between the parties look no further than the Republicans’ House payroll tax bill which will add $25.3 billion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.  What’s the big deal in adding a quarter trillion to the country’s swelling National debt which today sits at $15.6 trillion and chang?   Obviously, NOTHING, when it comes to the U.S. Congress.

According to THE HILL the Republican bill also extends the payroll tax and federal unemployment benefits for one year, adding $166.8 billion to the deficit for fiscal year 2012. Much of those costs would be offset over the 10-year period through other provisions in the bill.
