"It's not just millionaires who'd pay more under President Barack Obama's latest plan to combat the deficit," reports the Associated Press. Airline passengers, for example, would see federal fees doubled to $10 per trip, tripled to $15 by 2017. And new mortgage applicants would pay an additional fee—averaging $15 per month for the life of the mortgage—for the care and feeding of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
One AP reader summed the plan up well: "So millionaires will be taxed, the rest of us will just pay fees."
