Rate cuts will do nothing to stop the tax cut. AG knows that. It is a political commitment and soon to be reality. If Bush does not get a tax cut, he is out. He knows that. Dems know it and you know it too. AG knows it, yet he made a 1/2 point cut, which will be followed by 1/4 and 1 or 2 more 1/4 pt cuts. NAPM, construction & manufacturing #'s the catalyst here. Your theory does not stand the slightest scrutiny. Bush has been absolutely vindicated for his stance on the economy. A few weeks ago he was accused of talking it down when all he did was state what was obvious to anybody paying attention. The White house and Dems say ooooohh noooo the economy is just fine. Y'all seem to have missed that one. Or was it just some rhetoric to try and tear down GWB ?

>>It's called a pre-emptive strike. You could not be more wrong if you tried. Greenspan validated - in the most striking way possible - that the economy is in free-fall and that Bush's team - and not Clinton's - is right. AG has also endorsed tax rate cuts as beneficial to economic efficiency, while specifically rejecting the Dem vote-buying scheme know as "targeted cuts" as detrimental. The pre-emptive strike was by Bush - in getting the nation's most respected business leaders, GE's Welch and Cisco's Chambers et al, to endorse and commit to the Bush team's plan for economic recovery. AG may be many things, but he is not up in the realm of the likes of Welch or Chambers. AG must also realize that Bush will soon have the power to appoint enough governors to change his world.
