Blunt Says Talk of Tax Hikes is a “Waste of Time”

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt says the Administration ought to just drop any talk of revue increases in the budget negotiations. “It’s a waste of time conversation”, Blunt said.
The Republican maintains the Administration had their chance e to raise taxes when Democrats controlled both the White House and Capitol Hill from 2009-2011.

Blunt says he is glad President Obama is now part of the budget talks, “even If it is in “the last minutes”, Blunt said.
