Like most conservatives, I don’t want to see Republicans cave in to President Obama’s demands for higher taxes. Nor do I think they should strike a grand bargain, trading tax hikes for spending cuts. Whenever such deals have been struck in the past, we’ve gotten the higher taxes without the promised reductions in spending.
At the same time, though, the conservative arguments for how Republicans can get everything they want from Obama — if only they stand firm — are thoroughly unconvincing.
