Let's look at the differing outlook these 2 men have for our country.

Bush: Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us. Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.

Daschle: So, not only did the tax cut fail to prevent a recession, as its supporters said it would, it probably made the recession worse. It also put us in an unnecessary fiscal bind at the worst possible time. At a time when we need to fight both a war and a recession -- when our nation has urgent needs on all fronts -- the tax cut has taken away our flexibility and left us with only two choices -- both of them bad. We can shortchange critical needs, such as homeland defense, or we can raid the Social Security surplus -- and even run deficits -- to pay for these critical needs.
