Rather raise taxes some to speed up the process.

What I can't understand is how all Republicans candidates can take positions like "more tax breaks to grow the economy" and "close loopholes" (without naming them, of course) without being considered as non-credible.
You have to have journalists and media that are willing to call "bullshit" and challenge unsupportable BS assertions ... we don't have that any more.
