More Bad News for The Won: Taxing the rich can’t pay for all of Obama’s programs

From the very last paragraph of a long story in the NY Times:

“There is no way we can pay for health care and the rest of the Obama agenda, plus get our long-term deficits under control, simply by raising taxes on the wealthy,” said Isabel V. Sawhill, a former Clinton administration budget official. “The middle class is going to have to contribute as well.”

But wait…didn’t Obama campaign on the promise that there was no way, no how 95% of the fine folks of this country would have their taxes raised?

Wait…you mean he lied?

Even the NY Times, who is a senior member of Obama’s State Run Media™ has to call bullshit on that one.

Allah Pundit at Hot Air:

First CBO tells us that nationalizing health care won’t actually be “deficit-neutral,” as The One has long and insanely claimed, and now this. Everything I thought I knew about economics has been proven totally, er, true.

Normally it’d be a moral victory that the Times is even reporting this, but come on. Was there anyone so naive as to think they wouldn’t end up being shaken down by a utopian liberal with a Democratic Congress to do his bidding? Besides Christopher Buckley, I mean.
