GIMMICK: If Warren Buffett has lost Dana Milbank . . . “Three years into his presidency, Obama has not introduced a plan for comprehensive tax reform — arguably the most important vehicle for fixing the nation’s finances and boosting long-term economic growth. His opponents haven’t done much better, but that doesn’t excuse the president’s failures: appointing the Simpson-Bowles commission and then disregarding its findings, offering a plan for business tax reform only, and issuing a series of platitudes. The Buffett Rule, rather than overhauling the tax code, would simply add another layer.”

Well, I haven’t floated a comprehensive plan, exactly, but I have proposed a series of revenue enhancement measures that the President has inexplicably ignored.
