Think Progress - "Ryan Knocks GOP Tax Cut Fantasy" - Corporate Media Ignores! Will DU?

I know that on DU for some reason folks like to quote Democrats attacking other Democrats, but what about Republicans blurting out the truth for a change? If the media were not biased, perhaps this would get more attention:

Ryan Knocks GOP Tax Cut Fantasy: ‘I’m Not One Of These People Who Says That All Tax Cuts Pay For Themselves’

In their quest to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest two percent of Americans, many leading Republicans have invented a fantasy world in which tax cuts always pay for themselves through increased economic growth. Extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich would cost $830 billion in lost revenue over the next ten years, but nonetheless, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) claimed, “You should never have to offset cost” of tax cuts, while Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) said, “tax cuts should not have to be offset.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) went a step further, falsely claiming that the Bush tax cuts have actually “increased revenue.”

But on CNBC today, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the ranking GOP member on the House Budget Committee, splashed some cold water on that delusion, saying dismissively, “I’m not one of these people who says that say that all tax cuts pay for themselves”
