So-Called Liberal Paper Bashes Obama

The Washington Post published a story, which quoted from a Tax Policy Center study that found that Obama's tax plan would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt by 2018. The Post's article even goes so far as to call Obama a hypocrite for calling Bush's tax policy "reckless" and that Bush's tax policies have "mortgaging our children's future on a mountain of debt."


This criticism is accurate and fair as far as quoting the study is concerned. However, the Post article neglected to point out the fact that the same study found that McCain's tax policies would add even more to the national debt than Obama's. The same study found that McCain's tax plan would add a whopping $5 trillion to the debt by 2018. 


How is that for some media bias?
