According to my sources, Judy Woodruff just announced on CNN that Teddy Kennedy is going to call for a repeal of the tax cuts.

And please, no sophistry about how this is not really a tax increase, because it happens in the future. If changing the legislation so that the cuts don't take effect isn't a tax increase, then the original legislation didn't constitute a tax cut. Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

An even better counterexample would be the ever-common references to reductions in projected spending increases [even where the "reduced" spending levels represent an actual increase] as 'spending cuts'.

It's possible to honestly argue that a reduction in a projected cut is not an increase [in regard to current levels]; it only becomes intellectually dishonest if the same individual has a habit of referring to reductions in projected spending increases as "cuts".
