Here’s Richard Cohen in yesterday’s Washington Post:

And tell me, is there anyone out there who thought you could narrow the deficit and fund all sorts of programs merely by eliminating the tax breaks President Bush gave the very rich — people who make more than $200,000 a year? I voted for Kerry, but I didn’t believe that for a second.

Huh? Kerry exaggerated how much revenue his tax proposals would bring in, but even Bush said Kerry’s plan would have generated $650 billion over ten years. That’s not chump change.
