You can add the name of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to the list of Republicans who believe that unemployment benefits should have to be paid for, but potential deficits from tax cuts should not be paid for.
Bachmann, the founder of the newly-formed House Tea Party Caucus, appeared today on Good Morning America, and was asked about this very topic by George Stephanopoulos.
“I think we need to be paying for all the spending that’s going on,” said Michele Bachmann. “But when people can keep more of their own money that shouldn’t be considered a cost.”
