I guessing that's the part he loves most too. Steny would really enjoy giving himself and his sponsors a big tax cut using the formula in Simpson's plan while gravely shaking his head and calling on everyone else to "share sacrifice".

Like Simpson himself said; "This thing isn't going to go away". We'll be contending with the fallout from regressive approach taken in this document during the next budget process and the upcoming deficit ceiling debate.
