---------------------------------------- News Alert: Obama to propose $1.5 trillion in new taxes September 18, 2011 9:29:50 PM ----------------------------------------

President Obama's plan to tame the nation’s rocketing federal debt by finding at least $3 trillion in new savings, to be released Monday, includes $1.5 trillion in new taxes, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Combined with his call earlier this month for $450 billion in new stimulus, the proposal represents a more populist approach to confronting the nation’s economic travails than the compromises he advocated this summer.
