As i remember it, Bush signed a budget that included a $1.35 billion tax cut over 10 years and then he set out to ram an even bigger tax cut through. But how to get around the price limit he himself had just agreed to? Simple, enact a much bigger tax cut but have some of it expire before the 10 years are up. That way it seems to fit into the agreed upon price tag. It was an accounting trick. It was dishonest and we see how it's been busting our budget, and now of course we have to deal with expirations. Ronald Reagan was straight up enough not to engage in such shenanigans but that's not how Bush and these Republicans do business. They're neither honest nor fiscally responsible. SD
