Joe Biden: Recovery package must provide state aid, hazard pay

In addition to funds to keep workers on payroll, the next recovery package will need to provide significant funds to states, to make sure that educators and health care workers and first responders can keep getting paid. It will have to provide hazard pay to frontline workers putting themselves at risk. It will have to extend unemployment benefits, and provide further direct cash relief, through a cancellation of a minimum of $10,000 of student debt per person and Social Security boosts.

Mark Sanford: Shouldn't trade increased spending for tax reform

We can't abandon what we believe in to get what we want. Many of us want tax reform, but does financial discipline have to be sacrificed on the altar to getting there? I thought Republicans were the party of lower taxes--and less spending. We may certainly defer or delay things we believe in getting to things we want, but there is a point beyond which deferral becomes inaction.

Conversely, tax incentives inherently change the playing field in free markets and can lead to governments--not markets--picking winners and losers. To stay competitive, Utah has also offered incentives. It's time to reevaluate our current approach.
