Why does it cost one side...

...but not the other?

Renewing the tax cuts for everyone would cost the government almost $4 trillion over the next decade, according to congressional analysts...
Why does the Associated Press talk about this but not say that "Letting the tax cuts expire would cost the American people almost $4 trillion over the next decade"? Just whose money is it here?

And why were there no follow-up questions by the AP to Congress about the fact that the tax cuts for the wealthier Americans would be a good bit less than half of that $4 trillion? I guess congressional Democrats and the Associated Press agree that once you make over $200,000 a year it ceases to be your money.
