Washington Post Editorial Board: Mitt Romney’s Tax Plan ‘Counting On Magic’

The Washington Post editorial board on Saturday published another critical review of Mitt Romney’s campaign, this time focusing on his tax plan.

“For several weeks, we’ve been asking Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to explain how he can cut taxes, as promised, without adding to the nation’s debt, as also promised,” the piece said. “Now he’s effectively let the cat out of the bag: He can’t.”

The editorial attacked Romney’s plan as “counting on magic” and compared it to “the wishful thinking of President George W. Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts that helped turn a surplus into the deficit now weighing the nation’s economy.”
