Steve Forbes fears mark-to-market accounting rules are coming back, and says Europe should not bail out their weakest members.

And on Fox News, Forbes calls for lower taxes, plus sound money and spending restraint.

The Tax Foundation analyzes lower tax rates on dividends.

While the Republican House leader's office argues the President should "cut spending now to create jobs and help our economy."

Much as some political leaders in the past have overstated the case when claiming tax cuts pay for themselves, perhaps now they are confusing evidence, like this study from Mercatus, that spending isn't effective stimulus as meaning that spending cuts therefore are stimulative.
