White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that The Post article, which said that the Obama administration was considering the cut to give a stimulus to the fragile economy, was false.

“The administration is not contemplating at this time a tax cut as described in the Post," Earnest said. "I'm not trying to be clever. I'm trying to be as clear as I can."

While the administration has no specific tax cut planned, Earnest said that Obama will continue to push for middle-class tax cuts as part of his economic agenda.
