That old Liberal bugaboo - math.

Heh...

Isn't math great?

"For instance, the president's proposal to raise taxes only on
high-income families would raise an additional $600 billion over 10
years, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Tax
Policy Center.

That's not a lot when the government is staring at a 10-year deficit
of $9 trillion. A 10-year deficit of that magnitude means the debt
held by the public -- the accumulation of all annual deficits over the
decades -- would reach 82% of gross domestic product come 2019. That's
double the 41% recorded in 2008."
