he above is a url to today's Abelson column in Barron's. I can't read the url. I am not a subscriber. If the cliff is out there for housing then the idiot's tax cut policies when the surplus was just about to disappear and his SS privatization scheme will make him have to give another scripted 10 minute speech... How did this idiot get selected? The only statement you made explaining why you are calling GW and idiot is "tax cut policies when the surplus was just about to disappear". Leaving aside that atleast official projections show a continuing surplus (they could always be wrong), you don't develop your argument against a tax cut at this time. The tax cut is tiny, much smaller then the surplus was supposed to be. If the surplus is gone it is because of increased spending. Considering the fact that the economy is not doing well it would be a good time for a tax cut. The one think that is stupid about it is that it is phased in over 10 years. Tim
