From Hugh Hewitt:
Senator JimDeMint just announced on my program that he will oppose the deal as well as a vote for cloture on the deal. He is reluctant to criticize GOP Senate leadership, but believes the deal at a minimum has to be paid for, and that we need “a permanent economy” not a temporary one as well as permanent tax cuts, not temporary tax cuts…
DeMint doesn’t like the fact that the deal increases the debt – he, I guess, has thought the matter all the way through. I doubt he’ll be able to stop it – but, then again, no one can say for sure. Lot of strange cross-currents in this Congress, at this moment.
