Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Mike Lee (Utah) previewed their proposal on Fox News, saying that it will put the entitlement program on a long-term path to solvency without raising taxes. The senators said that their plan would gradually raise the retirement age from 67 to 70 and would not affect individuals age 56 or older. Graham said that the proposal uses the same formula Congress used to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67, so that people born in 1970 would become the first group to have a retirement age of 70.

"There's still time before the filing deadline for them to give Uncle Sam some more money," Hatch said. Schoenberg said Hatch's suggestion misses the point.

The Ryan plan doesn't only fail to propose major new tax increases, it advocates lowering the top tax rates for both corporations and individuals to 25 percent from the current 35 percent. This comes amid disclosures of low tax payments by some of the nation's biggest companies, including General Electric Co., which made $14.2 billion in worldwide profits last year, but paid no U.S. corporate taxes in 2010.   02:02:00The Larry Dobie ShownoTax cuts,Republican proposal,Chairman Paul Ryan,lowering the top tax rates,biggest companiesA sweeping Republican proposal laid down by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin proposes trimming more than $5 trillion from deficits over thttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/larrys-networking-show/2011/04/15/obamas-proposal-to-let-the-bush-tax-cuts-expireCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/larrys-networking-show/2011/04/15/obamas-proposal-to-let-the-bush-tax-cuts-expire/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/larrys-networking-show/2011/04/15/obamas-proposal-to-let-the-bush-tax-cuts-expireFri, 15 Apr 2011 18:00:00 GMTObama's proposal to let the Bush tax cuts expire Obama's proposal to let the Bush tax cuts expire for families making over $250,000 or individuals earning above $200,000 will be woven into the upcoming presidential election.

But President Barack Obama is about to put them on the table - at least a modest version that he had pushed before and then rested on the shelf.  Most economists and budget analysts say a comprehensive mix of spending cuts and tax increases is essential to any viable deficit-reduction plan. Yet few players in the negotiations have gone there. It comes in the scramble to heed what is widely viewed as a loud clamor from voters to slam the brakes on runway government spending. There has been no corresponding public demand for raising taxes. That's not surprising, but the top-bracket U.S. tax rate now is the lowest it's been in decades, and it's far lower than those in many other industrialized countries, especially in western Europe.   02:01:00The Larry Dobie ShownoHigher taxes,President Barack Obama,budget analysts,top bracket US tax rate,industrializedHigher taxes have been missing from the fierce budget battle that nearly shut down the federal government.
