heinz: Reagan rode into Washington on the promise of tax and spending cuts. He got the tax cuts but was far less successful in obtaining the spending cuts. Bush doesn't have a chance on spending cuts. JMO Tim

hb - he would hold back to wait and see. i think though that they're trying to strike a deal of sorts, and perhaps Greenjeans is now more sanguine about tax cuts in view of the economy's recent slump. note, he always said when holding forth on the hill that IF using the surplus to pay down the debt proved politically unfeasible, he'd welcome tax cuts as the second best choice. just as long as there are no big increases in govt. spending. who knows, Shrubs may have made a case for corresponding cuts in spending.... This sounds about right to me, with the exception that no promises to cut or even hold spending can possibly be credible. Bush's best hope is to make up demonstrator signs that say : GEORGE 3:16 Tax Cuts = Lockboxes for All Regards, Don
