Hoyer’s Mondale moment

Maybe you don’t make $250,000 per year, but the House Majority Leader wants to raise your taxes anyway:

Tax cuts that benefit the middle class should not be “totally sacrosanct” as policymakers try to plug the nation’s yawning budget gap, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Monday, acknowledging that it would be difficult to reduce long-term deficits without breaking President Obama’s pledge to protect families earning less than $250,000 a year.

Too bad this was buried on page A13 of the Washington Post. But at least they, unlike the New York Times, thought the story was worth printing.
