Everything Remains Raw.
Is the tax deal a sign of new cooperation between the GOP and Barack Obama ? The short answer is no. And the longer answer? As long as Obama is president and Democrats control one chamber of Congress, the incentives that drove Republican behavior over the last two years remain in place. It's still the case that poor economic performance will harm Obama and the Democratic Party, and it's still the case that Republicans can force many concessions by holding the government hostage to their whim. I...

the new comeback kid?

AP gets it
The Associated Press headline cut through the crap: “Bill preventing big tax hikes heads to Obama Fri.” Amen. This is not a Tax Cut. The top marginal Tax Rate will remain at 35% and all the other tax rates are unchanged. Now I write that with two caveats. One the Estate Tax jumps from 0% to 35% on January 1. Any multimillionaires planning on dying real soon should do so before New Year’s. Social Security taxes will drop from 12.4% to 10.4% for the 2011 year only. (It is 6.2% ...
