Grover Norquist v. Ross Douthat on the Taxpayer Protection Pledge

The American Enterprise Institute hosts a debate today, Pledge or Wedge? Grover Norquist vs. Ross Douthat on the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, at 5:30 p.m. EST (webcast here):

In the next American Enterprise Debate, Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, will argue that the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is an effective bulwark against tax increases. New York Times columnist Ross Douthat will counter with his claim that the tax pledge has created political gridlock that threatens to derail serious tax reform and deficit reduction. AEI research fellow and former chief economist to the House Ways and Means Committee Alex Brill will moderate.
