I think he should have reformed the tax code in concert with the tax cuts. Its easier to get a reform if you can reduce the overall revenue in the process. Once you actually cut taxes without reforming than if you want to reform you are probably going to have to make a lot of people pay more (even as the overall government intake stays the same) and you have a built in lobby against the reform.

Reforming first than cutting has the same effect in a different chronological order.

Best to do both together.

President Bush tried and democrats refused to negotiate on anything in good faith. President Bush did capitulate on a few issues to get them done. There was no bipartisanship from democrats. Bravo President Bush, boo Congress.
