Bush's tax cuts were the wrong idea. Maybe an OK idea back in boom-boom times, but not when the treasury is in the midst of being drained and we're at war. That's not a time to try to make the government insolvent. You'd think Republicans would know that the way they criticize Grey Davis for his deficits. Bush is doing the same thing Davis did, just in a different, but bigger way. Being fiscally reckless. I dont know if Davis was irresponsible in 1999-2001. Maybe he was. But he was also hit with a terrible phony energy crisis. But Bush has no such excuses. He knew we were in a recession and war. So it's not time for a supply side upper-income tax break. It's time to stimulate the economy by targeting consumers, creating jobs in a more direct fashion and keeping the states solvent. California for instance has received zero help from Bush. And California is 1/7th of our economy, an economy which drives the rest of the nation. If California goes down, so does the nation. Except maybe in Texas, whose interests are largely the opposite of the rest of the country.
