Do you think anyone but Bush would have been foolish enough to enact tax cuts when the economy was clearly going into the dumper? The guy can't control everything but he certainly could have controlled that issue. Shoot, even Gore was going to cut taxes. Was Gore foolish as well? Man, talk about a short memory. Maybe the reason Gore was talking tax cuts during the campaign was because the economy was still going gangbusters. Who knew Bush could cripple the economy so quickly. Keeping more money tied up in the government is not a way to boost an economy anyway. It sounds like you're trying hard to argue it is. Running deficits and soaking up available monies to pay for the national debt is no way to do it either. Furthermore, any economist will tell you that when revenues are dropping due to falling economic conditions, you don't hasten that drop by cutting revenues further. And I thought the GOP was about sound budget management. ted
