Obama budget: Tax hikes instead of government cuts

I'm shocked.

But it's OK, lots of taxes on the evil businesses, and we all know that these taxes don't come out of our pockets. Nope nope nope!

#5  Another theory is ya aim 10-15% higher than needed, then both the cutters and proposer look like winners.

I suspect Deacon's link is more likely, with the narrative indicators over the last 3 months. Let the House choose what to cut so the ink is on their hands. Whatever the play, that is the formation and to the House...hope that isn't the play, nope nope nope.
