Carbon Tax Offers Win-Win-Win
John Reilly & Sebastian Rausch, Politico
This time last year, Washington's AAA credit rating was downgraded, as Congress held hostage an agreement on a debt ceiling increase while looking for a long-term debt reduction plan. A year later, not much has changed.Congress is no closer to reaching consensus on reining in our nation's debt. The Bi-Partisan Tax Commission laid out the harsh reality: Closing the deficit would require both tax increases and cuts to key programs like Social Security.http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80177.html
