What Is Obama Smoking?
(WSJ) According to sources on Capitol Hill, the White House wants Republicans to
pony up $960 billion in immediate tax increases, which will come from hiking the
top marginal rates and increasing capital gains and dividends taxes. That is
just for starters. The administration also wants the GOP to surrender an
additional $600 billion in revenue via later tax reforms.
The president's team specified no amounts or details on spending
cuts. Rather, the White House wants more spending: at least $50 billion in new
stimulus, an extension of unemployment insurance, a one-year deferral of the
sequester, new money to refinance underwater mortgages, a Medicare-doctor fix...
and a partridge in a pear tree.
