---------------------------------------- Economy/Business News Alert: Obama to propose $1.5 trillion in new taxes September 18, 2011 9:22:42 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. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/RRHKUP/5CXDZY/Z2YDT0/M715J4/Y3CTI/N9/h For more information, visit PostBusiness.com ---------------------------------------- Get The Washington Post app for iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch: http://itunes.com/apps/thewashingtonpost ---------------------------------------- Get breaking news alerts sent to your mobile phone.
