Good article, but Hillary and Daschle aren't the only ones wanting to raise taxes. There is also Lieberman. I urge them to make this the Democratic platform. Higher taxes is the way out of a recession. Lol. No wonder they are the donkey party.

"For that matter, most of the Bush tax cuts haven't even become law yet; they're phased in over several years, with the largest cuts coming after 2004. As readers of these columns know, that delay was one of our main caveats about the Bush tax proposal. We feared it wouldn't boost the economy quickly enough. Instead, the part of the tax cut that has had the most immediate budget impact was the tax rebate that Democrats insisted on as a price of their support. That rebate, from $300 to $600, was distributed last summer and autumn to much political fanfare but no discernable economic effect. The rebate took about $40 billion out of the projected budget surplus last year. If Mr. Daschle is as worried as he says he is by the return of budget deficits, he could always propose that Americans send their rebate checks back. But somehow that didn't make it into the Daschlenomics speech either." Thanks for the article...and as much noise as Daschle lovers make....I don't see them saying anything about the above....Nor do I see any of the vocal left here rationally discussing the above. Heck, many of them think PBS is "fair and balanced"...and yet will make no comment whatsoever on the March 2000 Transcript on the falling Economy, which discussed the falling economy from 3rd and 4th quarter 1999 to early 2000.... If the online interview/transcript is discussing this early in 2000....by what rationale would any idiot think it was a "Bush recession"???? That is, without making themselves look even more foolish.
