From the NY Times: 'Taxmageddon' is the preferred
description of The NY Times’ David Leonhardt at to describe the unique fiscal
situation due to happen at the end of this year. Basically, with no changes to current law,
taxes will rise for everyone, and after tax, inflation-adjusted income for the
average American will drop to 1998 levels.
As Leonhardt puts it: "All in all, the end of 2012 will
be unlike any other time in memory for the federal government."
At this point, many of our readers will already be familiar
with the stakes. It's not just the Bush tax cuts that are due to expire, but
mandatory spending cuts agreed to during the debt ceiling debacle are supposed
to kick in as well.
In theory, 5% of GDP could be gone….
