That Silly $2 Billion Corporate Jet Write-off=Food Program for Children+National Park Budget+ etc...

Much has been made of the $2 billion tax loophole for corporate jets. For the right wing, it's insignificant and petty when trillions need to be cut. But as Rachel Maddow points out, the austerity budget pushed by the GOP goes after programs that only cost millions, not billions. So which is it; million dollar cuts add up and need to be cut for the poorest and most vulnerable, or the wealthy's small $2 billion write-offs for corporate jets isn't worth touching?

Or how about restoring that $2 billion job training program in exchange for the corporate jet subsidy?
