Ted Re...On the contrary, the Dems in the Senate can stall a tax cut bill for several months. The Reps logic behind a tax cut bill to stimulate the economy is faulty. <

Right now, the consumer confidence indexes have been falling for 5 straight months. I doubt if the voters feel that it is a corporate problem. The voters want the tax break now and it is the dems. who will look like they caused the recession, because they stalled when the tax cut could have gotten us out of the recession. How it looks is often more important than reality.

All the Dems are saying is be realistic...there are other obligations for the $$$ so lets not be greedy. People understand that logic....it makes sense. And they also understand that Bush is trying to buy their love. <

From here I think Bush is scoring with his, "if you leave it in Wash. they will spend it, not save it. " Gov. spending has increased way too fast, and needed to be slowed down. Worse, the dems. will look like the obstructionists the rep. have been accused of being in the past. And with the Bill and Hillary fiasco, the dems hardly need more bad PR.
