The Democratic representatives on the Committee have every reason to fight for revenue, because they don't want to see the Medicare cuts or across the board cuts in general, and they are directly beholden to their constituents in terms of what they recommend. They are completely incentivized to argue for revenue increases, furthermore, since to do so puts the House GOP in an impossible position of having to accept either revenue increases or cuts to defense, Medicare, and whatever pet projects they have in their districts that would be exposed to across the board cuts.

How are they not incentivized? Explain.
