Mike Pence, who is increasingly becoming my first choice for President, came out against the tax deal last night (NRO - The Corner).
Pence supports making the 2001/2003 tax reductions permanent, and opposes unfunded unemployment benefits (I’m guessing he’s not happy with the ornaments either). He also noted that the Republican House (which takes office in less than three weeks) will pass a bill to make the lower taxes permanent: “We’ll do it. We’ll send it to the Senate if this bill falters. There’s always time to do the right thing.” I’d also submit the Senate, where the Democrats’ majority will be cut by two-thirds, is far more likely to go along with that than it is now.

Where is Pence’s plan for balancing the budget?
Why would you vote for ANYONE who claims to be a fiscal conservative but will not tell you how to balance the budget?
Remember – this deficit did not appear yesterday. It’s been that way for a decade and Pence has had a decade to come up with a plan for balancing the budget.
Where is that plan?
