No he didn't. (What he said was that he wanted to look at SPENDING CUTS and efficiencies first, and turn to tax policies after his tax commissions and the bipartisan deficit reduction commission returned with their ideas later this year.) And he also said what all politicians say: that 'all options remain on the table'. :-) (But there will be no VAT... that has just been a Steve Forbes pipe dream for years now. :-) ...for days, White House spokesmen have said the president has not proposed and is not considering a VAT. "I think I directly answered this the other day by saying that it wasn't something under consideration," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters. After the interview, White House deputy communications director Jen Psaki said nothing has changed and the White House is "not considering" a VAT. (By the way, Burpy... there seemed to be something wrong with that article you posted... maybe extraneous words and phrases implanted into the text? LOL!)
