Scenario: You are spending more money than you take in. What do you do? In most circumstances, an individual would cut their spending to maintain a positive balance. Not President Obama. There is nothing that will stop him from spending. Instead, Obama wants to raise taxes so he can keep his record spending sprees in place.

But in addition to suggesting cuts—the current focus of debate—the White House looks set to aim its firepower on a more divisive topic: taxes. In a speech Wednesday, *Mr. Obama will propose cuts to entitlement programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and changes to Social Security*, a discussion he has largely left to Democrats and Republicans in Congress. He also will *call for tax increases for people making over $250,000 a year,* a proposal contained in his 2012 budget, and changing parts of the tax code he thinks benefit the wealthy. This goes against the agreement that both parties agreed too back in December 2010. Then again, Obama is known to have a disdain for the rule of law. "Every corner of the federal government has to be looked at here," David Plouffe, a senior White House adviser, said Sunday in one of multiple television appearances. "Revenues are going to have to be part of this," he said, referring to tax increases. Until now, Mr. Obama has been largely absent from the raging debate over the long-term deficit. The White House has done little with the recommendations of its own bipartisan deficit commission. And Mr. Obama's 2012 budget didn't offer many new ideas for tackling entitlement spending, among the biggest long-term drains on the federal budget. Some of us pointed out that the 'deficit commisson' was just a political ploy and were proven right with Obama's 2012 budget.
