((This is what Brooks, speaking from the right, says about your $600 check-goodie. <<The grubbiest part of the tax cut was foisted on Mr. Bush by the Democrats — the checks that will go out to taxpayers later in the year, at $300 for singles and $600 for married couples. This bit of pump-priming is exactly the sort of thing Reagan Republicans always fought.)) That wasn't part of Bush's program. It was a compromise with the liberals.

What's grubby about giving me my money back? Money that should never have been taken in the first place! The tax cut isn't perfect, its not even close to what Bush really wanted ..... but its still a CUT not an increase as we'd most certainly have had in an AllBore Presidency along with $4.00/gal. gas. Harp all you like, its not great but its better than an increase no matter how you look at it. From tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow. JLA PS With divided government, any change will be incremental at best.
