the administration argues two points-- the tax increases are necessary to finance the nation's budget deficit, and to promote fairness. while deficit reduction is a critical goal, will raising marginal tax rates enhance growth and revenues? reducing spending would be a more pro-growth candidate for deficit reduction. and fairness? if the administration wants to place its view of fairness ahead of growth and job creation, that is a legitimate political choice. but, why not raise more revenue from higher-income taxpayers with less harm to investment and employment? proposals to limit deductions would be a clear alternative. what should we do about taxes? the nation needs a real conversation about the size of government and the tax system that should pay for it. that discussion will likely be front-and-center in the campaign. in the meantime, extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts will support the recovery and jobs. i'm glenn hubbard. >> susie: and finally, today marks warren buffett's 80th birthday, but the oracle of omaha has no plans to retire as c.e.o. of berkshire hathaway. he's vowin
