Rate Cuts or Nothing

It's rare to get a second chance in politics, but thanks to Republican Senators that's precisely what
President Bush now has on fiscal "stimulus." He can fight anew for a tax cut worth the effort, or else
he might as well call the whole thing off.

House Republicans blew their chance when they passed a bill that cut retroactive business taxes
more than it did future individual taxes. Senate Democrats then did that one worse by proposing a
bill that was mostly new spending, much of it in the form of crass vote-buying. North Dakota's
famous deficit scold, Kent Conrad, slipped in a $10 million subsidy for buffalo meat that would
benefit such needy souls as billionaire rancher Ted Turner. The ensuing laughter made it easy for
Republicans to defeat the bill.
