Daniel Mitchell on the Deficit Commission

The Cato Institute's Daniel Mitchell is more skeptical than I am of the plan by the co-chairmen of the Obama deficit reduction commission, saying that the spending cuts are fake while the tax increases are real: "the Fiscal Commission is asking us to pay higher taxes so that government spending can grow at twice the rate of inflation. That's not a good deal." See also the comment in the comment string by the estimable Arnold Kling, who disagrees with Mr. Mitchell.
