Pressure for the cuts comes from the Bush administration's growing awareness that the nation cannot afford to pay for new weapons systems costing hundreds of billions of dollars, fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and cover major domestic demands - whether rebuilding Gulf Coast areas damaged by Hurricane Katrina, financing the new Medicare prescription benefit or reducing the federal budget deficit. nytimes.com Times didn't list more tax cuts. Seems the rich rather buy Hummers than Humvees. I guess that means they don't want to give up their tax cuts to pay for another country to invade. You could call that progress.
