he may just be playing the doomsayer, but i'd like some confirmation

on this speculation about getting rid of corporate tax breaks for group health benefits and personal federal tax breaks on state/local taxes...

or maybe not.  The Post is writing:

Instead the administration plans to push major amendments that would shield interest, dividends and capitals gains from taxation, expand tax breaks for business investment and take other steps intended to simplify the system and encourage economic growth, according to several people who are advising the White House or are familiar with the deliberations.

The changes are meant to be revenue-neutral. To pay for them, the administration is considering eliminating the deduction of state and local taxes on federal income tax returns and scrapping the business tax deduction for employer-provided health insurance, the advisers said.

Where "advisers" is left undefined in the article (bad Washington Post! No Buscuit!) I'd really like to know who these people are who are giving the President such "advice".
