有人或许希望边缘税率如此大水平的攀升是参议院财政提案的一个大漏洞，有人可能认为它会在立法之前得到修补。

但没有简单的修补方法，因为更高的边缘税率正是奥巴马保健计划的一个有机组成部分。

But there is no simple fix. Higher marginal tax rates are an integral part of the Obama health plan.

不过华盛顿坚持在往火上浇油和在边缘修修补补，而不是直面真相。

But Washington insists on torturing the Numbers and tinkering around the edges rather than facing this truth.
