-- Bush to Announce Economic Stimulus Next Week -- CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush said on Thursday he would announce details next week of an economic stimulus package expected to total as much as $300 billion with tax breaks for businesses and individuals. "Next week when I talk about an economic stimulus package, I will talk about how best to create jobs," he told reporters at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. Bush declined to offer details of what the package, which sources have said he may unveil during a visit to Chicago, might include. But it is expected to include a cut of up to 50 percent in taxes on corporate dividends to shareholders. Administration officials also want to accelerate cuts in income tax rates to 2003 from 2004, though the nation's top earners may be left out because some of Bush's political advisers are worried about Democratic accusations that he is catering to the rich.
