A bold, soul stirring move by House Republicans to fire up the troops for the coming campaign [sarcasm].

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans in April plan to unveil legislation that would gradually increase annual contribution limits to individual retirement accounts by $3,000, another element in their strategy of obtaining tax cuts in small, politically popular steps.

People whose income exceeds certain levels can't make tax-deductible IRA contributions. GOP lawmakers haven't decided if they will propose raising the income limits. Nor have they decided how quickly to phase in the $3,000 increase, though it is likely to be done gradually over several years.


What a dud Hastert is. Good move to tell us about this a month before proposing it. Need to get ready for the battle of the century over this one.

Neocon, Just got off the TV, and McCain's announcement of bowing out of the race. Although he did not, out and out, endorse Bush, it seemed that he left a door open for negotiation between the two camps. I really hate to admit this, butI think that Bush is going to need him, and his supporters in November. It seemed that he was not leaning toward any third party run but, is going to hold out for some dealing. I can not, honestly, say that is a bad thing. He did have some decent ideas and goals so, I am hoping for a Bush/McCain ticket. If we get another 4 years of the Clinton/Gore philosophy, the country is going down the drain,IMO.
