Reverting to CLinton era taxes for the rich is not an increase, it's a rollback...

"Rollback" to a higher rate equals an increase. It doesn't have to be the highest rate ever in order for it to be an increase.

Furthermore, all honest conservatives now realize that the tax cuts are unsustainable and unfair.

There unfair only in the sense of not being enough.

The current tax rates are very sustainable, we had rates lower then this for most of our history. What is unsustainable is the spending spree that's been going on for a long time and which has been accelerated by Bush, and would probably be accelerated again by Kerry if he wins. (He's more in to raising taxes then cutting spending.)

but the only things he {Bush} is willing to cut are veterans benefits

During the Bush administration there has been one of the biggest increases in veterans benefits in a long time.

"President Bush has provided record support for America's veterans. His 2004 budget earmarks $63.6 billion in veteran benefits. That includes a nearly 8 percent increase over fiscal 2003 in funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and a 32 percent increase in overall funding since fiscal 2001."
