WH warns tax defeat could trigger new recession<\/a><\/p>\n

Raising the direst alarm yet, the Obama administration warned fellow Democrats on Wednesday that if they defeat the big tax-cut compromise detested by many liberals, they could jolt the nation back into recession.<\/p>\n

President Barack Obama appealed anew for Congress to “get this done” and insisted that more congressional Democrats would climb aboard as they studied details of the $900 billion year-end measure. Several did announce support on Wednesday, but at least one said there still was “a mood to resist.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This looks like a headline we’d have seen in the Bush administration when he was pushing for tax cuts.<\/p>\n

For this to come out of the Obama White House is a bit surreal.<\/p>\n

Does this mean that Obama has finally agreed that low taxes stimulate the economy more than deficit-based stimulus spending?<\/p>\n

Maybe it just means that he is beginning, belatedly, his campaign to be re-elected in 2012.<\/p>\n
