Abstract

This article expresses skepticism that some of the proposals of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (the so-called “debt commission”) are likely to go far as part of any tax reform associated with deficit reduction, and it describes one recent judicial decision that at least temporarily calls into question the codification of the economic substance doctrine.
