"President Bush may fall pray to the temptation for legacy hunting. If he does I hope that there are enough Senators with fiscal conservative streaks to prevent him from giving away current taxes for promises of future changes." "I don't expect that there will be any major deals in this area" As much of a spendthrift as President Bush 43 is, he might surprise us. It would not be pleasant. "As far as much-needed Tax Reform --- the one golden chance for that was killed off two or three years ago when the President made the policy mistake of putting Social Security reform (which went down in flames) FIRST on his agenda, and Tax Reform only AFTER SS reform was completed." President Bush provided leadership. In hindsight it appears that nobody in Congress was willing to follow his leadership. It would be difficult to deny him credit for leading. As I have said before, adults tend to pick their battles. he picked his, but didn't get as much cooperation as he needed.
