IF YOU HOPED THAT Alan Greenspan's congressional testimony this week would help cut through the thick fog of competing opinion on President Bush's tax-cut plan, you were probably bitterly disappointed. Greenspan proved once again, in my opinion, that he's the world's greatest two-handed economist: "On the one hand...but on the other hand...." And the conflicting media coverage of his conflicting statements probably didn't help matters.

So let me try to cut through the fog for you, so you can clearly evaluate the controversies about Bush's plan for yourself. If you've been reading my columns here you know that I support the plan. But long-time readers also know that I'm not a "Bushie" or even a Republican. Rather, I support Bush's tax-cut plan because I'm an investor, and I happen to think that the plan will help the economy grow, politics entirely aside. So let's do a simple question-and-answer session, and see if you end up agreeing with me.
