Tax hikes II:
“[I]t is never a good idea to absolutely rule things out, no matter what.” –White House National Economic Council Director Larry Summers on tax increases for the middle class
White House “clarification”:
“The president’s clear commitment is not to raise taxes on those making less than $250,000 a year.” –White House press secretary Robert Gibbs
