Bush Treasury Sec. says no more tax cuts to Bob Novak. So there's one less reason for tax-cut nuts to support Bush. In addition it seems Bush will have to try and pay for the tax cut we already had (which I submit was ripped by his energy pals times three) by either borrowing or going into the Social Security surplus (baby boomer's retirment money), which he promised us he wouldn't do. I would have liked to ask this O'Neil what his former company Alcoa (he was CEO) was doing trading energy during the height of the crisis only one month after he left. Conflict of interest if I've ever heard one. O'Neil was also the President of International Paper. So commodities, timberand energy guys run our White House now. And we know all big commodities traders make their killings out of manipulating markets. Or trying to. All we need is the paper evidence and these guys are BUSTED.
