Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Which brings me to the case for raising taxes.
44% : The combined loss of tax revenue and increased expenditures put the cost around $2 trillion.
43% : Confession time: I'm open to raising taxes.
42% : Even for those of us who don't want to live in a European welfare state, raising taxes to pay for the government Americans may want has an upside: It should teach us to keep politicians on a short leash.
37% : And the White House's risible claims that it won't cost anything only makes sense if you think raising taxes to pay for new entitlements is costless.
