Judd Gregg on Obama's tax deal

NHPR

When the president reached out to the GOP agreed to extend tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans for the next two years. he didn't quite win over Republican Senator Judd Gregg.
"I have reservations."
Gregg says the bill is too costly because its extension of unemployment benefits will increase the deficit, though he's leaning in favor of it.

That extending the Bush tax cuts to millionaires will increase the deficit  isn't even a consideration.  Extending unemployment benefits to folks who can't find work, now that's  the problem, that's going to increase the deficit.
