Yeah, “average”. The terms works fine if related to a small set of “objects” that are fairly closely grouped. It would be nice if a mention was made of the affect on the “median” taxpayer, but I’ll hazard a guess (and it is a guess) that the increase would be about $50.

Artful use of the word “average” –

Try explaining that to 116 million American taxpayers who would see their taxes rise by an average of $1,800.

That sounds a whole lot better than saying,”try explaining that the 1.5 million of my supporters who won’t get their average $150K tax break and the 114.5 million schlubs who would see their taxes rise by an average of $900″

A president does not have the power to make tax policy for all future presidents. Just screw it up one year at a time, George.

Remember during Clinton when the problem was what to do with the record $250 billion annual surplus? No social security problem then.
