Earlier this week, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) told Fox News that he doesn’t support a tax hike to pay for the Afghanistan war until the nation’s jobless rate
“„I think we should pay for this war, but we should pay for it after the unemployment rate is down below 5 percent. We should adopt the statutes now so that these taxes become operative then. But you’ve got to have a good fiscal policy as well as a good policy to fight the global war on terror.
