"State of the Union" highlights:

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Majority Whip) on CNN’s State of the Union:
“Boehner has been very clear that there are no votes for a tax increase. And you look at the jobs data, it was only 18,000 jobs, Canada has fewer people than live in California, created more jobs than America. You would not increase taxes on the small business, which is what the president wants to do. All that Boehner said was, you've had a negotiation with Cantor, with Kyl, with Biden. They've gotten $2.4 trillion in cuts. So what he's saying is, let's go there, there's no taxes, there are cuts right there, but why don't you also get a balanced budget?”
