House Republicans Do Not Have A Plan To Pay for Bush Tax Cuts

http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/domestic-taxes/224677-republicans-no-offsets-for-extending-bush-rates

This article is about the lack of "offset," cuts to spending that Republicans have planned in order to pay for a potential extension of Bush-era tax cuts.  These are a great example of expiring legislation that is put in place to potentially push a third dimension issue into future elections.  This should be a real hot button issue as we approach November and should be a clear contrast issue between Democrats and Republicans across the entire spacial model.
