Chambliss  Needs To Remember He Almost Lost His last Election

The Senate Republicans’ point man on dealing with the deficit is Saxby Chambliss (R-GA).  Mitch McConnell put Chambliss in charge of the issue for the Republicans.  Sunday, in the New York Times, Chambliss admitted he and the Senate Republicans will support tax increases to pay off the deficit.

“I’m taking arrows from some on the far right,” he told the Rotary Club of Atlanta in an appearance with Mr. Warner on Monday. “Are some people going to pay more in taxes? You bet.”

Chambliss has already attacked Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” because, in Chambliss’s words, Ryan is able to balance the budget without cutting defense spending.

You can see now what is taking shape as we head toward the fight over the debt ceiling. Senate Republicans will agree not just to ending all deductions and credits in the tax code and lowering the tax rate while expanding the base which is a step I support. The Senate Republicans will support higher taxes too.

Chambliss and all Republicans need to support less government spending, NOT tax increases.  Tax increases will NOT balance the budget.

Is Saxby Chambliss becoming a Democrat?  Is his “arrows from the far right” a code for the tea Party?  Chambliss almost lost his Senate seat in 2010.  Conservatives rallied around him.  Now he drops all pretense of being a conservative.
