Well, the values and angles he’s espousing come close to being
evil. And the piece is seriously misleading about what Obama has done. The
numbers refer to the House bill, not Obama’s proposals. Obama did not have to “flip
through” the tax code: he proposed a perfectly reasonable way to find a lot of
the money, namely changing the size of tax deductions for high-income people,
and those “fiscal conservatives” who are looking for a “bipartisan” deal in the
Senate rejected it.
That said, yeah, it’s dying on the vine.

Lord, I don't often agree with Charles Krauthammer, but I think his analysis in
this morning's WP has the next six months of this process right on target.
