Putting the budget ahead of the policy is the wrong way to do it. It's too often the way it's done in Washington.
Raising taxes doesn't create jobs, and this is a common sense thing. Washington doesn't get it. They believe if they take more money and send it to Washington, D.C. somehow they create wealth. It doesn't work.
