Tribune: Jeers To Risch, Crapo

JEERS ... to U.S. Sens. Jim Risch and Mike Crapo, R-Idaho. Last week, they had a choice: Raise your taxes or those of the rich. Guess who won? Not you. On Dec. 1, Democrats tried to renew the year-old payroll tax cut and pay for it by imposing a 3.25 percent surcharge on millionaires. Crapo, Risch and the GOP minority blocked the idea. Crapo and Risch are not opposed to a payroll tax holiday. A year ago, they voted for it - even though it meant piling on more national debt/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune (Cheers & Jeers column). More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with vote by U.S. Sens. Jim Risch & Mike Crapo?
