Excerpt

ROGERS: Well, even though the Concord Coalition is for fiscal responsibility and we like small deficits or no deficits where possible, this is one area where I don't think it's necessary to actually pay for the benefits for this program. Because it's actually a very small amount of money, it's intended to be temporary, it is not what we're concerned about. And it would be much better to look for ways to pay for more permanent programs that we continue to deficit-finance.
