Jeffrey, Good article and something I think a lot of us have already figured out, at least along the lines of cutting tax one place usually results in higher taxes someplace else. On the flip side I doubt it was ever part of the Bush plan to serve more than one term. Everything he's done since he's been in office is to tear things up as fast as possible before the 4 years are up in order to pay off the right people. Sort of like the peanut butter shortage at the end of the Carter administration. I suppose it depends on the point of view. He's either a poor dummy who doesn't know any better, or he knows exactly what he's doing and every step is part of a grand plan. At a certain point I start wondering if bin Laden is a terrorist mastermind, or an employee who is well paid when an "incident" is required. Almost from day one Bush has been trying to open up ANWR. When the unchecked energy price manipulation scams didn't turn the trick, the World Trade Center got hit. When that didn't turn the trick, he started a war with Iraq. The common thread is a likelihood of shifting public opinion away from environmental concerns in favor of energy production in the US. I suppose everything could have "just happened" for "no reason", but I have trouble putting it together that way.
