WORST IDEA 11/13/10: Obama's deficit panel

While President Barack Obama may have had the best of intentions with his bipartisan deficit panel, the panel's reccomendations are counterproductive and absurdly partisan. Raising taxes -- which they suggest doing in all sorts of ways -- never raises revenues. Raising taxes lowers incentive and the government actually collects less money. That will likely not help the deficit, but it will help keep the government in charge -- telling you it knows better.
