Disagree, Orca. They know damned well tax cuts won't solve anything. lb

Although tax cuts solve a lot, nobody in the admin thinks they solve everything. How did you come to that conclusion?

We cannot continue with the massive amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus being directed at the economy. Things that can't go on forever - won't go on forever. We will eventually pay a price in higher interest rates and inflation for these policies. The market is not fooled. It is cautious about how broad based this recovery is.

Orca, Re: The problem with the Bush administration is that they think that tax cuts will solve everything. Actually, you are missing the point. The strategy is one called "starve the beast". What the Republicans hope to do is to precipitate a fiscal crisis in order to justify the destruction of social safety net programs such as medicare and Social Security. This cynical scheme was hatched in large part by Grover Norquist. He's the fellow who famously said he wanted the 'shrink the government to where he could take it into the bathroom and drown it in the tub'. The tax cuts are a "malice aforethought" production.
