John Boehner and Sarah Palin
The latest skirmish came last week. Palin feels that the $858 billion tax cut legislation that passed was "a lousy deal." She said it on ABC News's "Good Morning America"
It was "lousy," she said, because it provided only a "temporary" fix in its two-year extension of tax cuts for the wealthy.
The Huffington Post reported the former Alaska governor also complained the legislated failed to permanently eliminate the estate cuts.
Palin preferred having the GOP-controlled House draft a tax plan after the Bush tax cuts expire next year. She said that plan could have been drafted to make it retroactive to the beginning of the year.
Future Speaker of the House John Boehner saw it differently.
Boehner said that allowing even a temporary sunsetting of the tax cuts was a risk that both he and the American people weren't willing to take, according to The Post.
"All you have to do is look at the vote last night," Boehner said. "It was a strong, bipartisan vote in favor of the bill. Why? Because you saw polling all week that indicated that the American people were in favor of stopping all of the tax hikes."
Does Palin or Boehner speak for the American public?
Is Palin way off base or is Boehner just covering his back?
What do you think?
