--- Wallowing in Deficit
Last year, Congress approved Bush's $1.3-trillion tax cut, which is scheduled to expire at the end of 2010. The expiration date was what kept the cuts from being total budget busters in decades to come and made it possible for moderate Democrats to join in
a yes vote. Now, with Americans still smarting from the pain of April 15, House Majority Leader J.Dennis Hastert is set to demand Wednesday that the tax cuts, including complete elimination of inheritance taxes, become permanent.
In exchange for big benefits to the richest taxpayers, these permanent cuts would jeopardize Social Security and Medicare and radically worsen the federal deficit......"
"Yet these cuts, when in full effect, would benefit mostly the top 1% of taxpayers, who as a group would receive twice as much from the cuts as the bottom 60%. The average yearly cut for the top 1% by 2010 is $53,123; for the bottom 60% it is $347 The Los Angeles Times

---" Senator Ted Kennedy Delivers""Response on Bush's Broken Promise to America's Schools"" We cannot remain silent when the President now fails to fund his own education bill. It was a wonderful promise -- but it has become a hollow promise.
in fact, his budget proposal actually cuts funds for public school reform, while
providing 4 billion dollars to private schools -- and 600 billion dollars in new tax
breaks for the wealthy.
With the President's cuts in education, 18,000 fewer teachers will be trained
next year."

..."the real question about the future should not be the nature of the recession but the nature of
the recovery that is poised to begin in a few months. Right now, it looks at best like Recovery Lite, a function not of Greenspan's monetary policy but of President Bush's non stewardship of the other half of the equation - fiscal policy.
As the recession bottoms out, the fact that the government has lost control of its finances is going to act as a brake on the expansion that might be expected to follow. The blame game participants can argue causation all they want; the fact is, the government's house is not in order, and Bush is the president." See:

(SI excerpt see:http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16806023)
On October 26, 2001, President BUSH signed the USA Patriot Act (USAPA) into law".
The bill is 342 pages long and makes changes, some large and some small, to over 15 different
statutes.The civil liberties of ordinary Americans have taken a tremendous blow with this law, especially
the right to privacy in our online communications and activities. Yet there is no evidence that our
previous civil liberties posed a barrier to the effective tracking or prosecution of terrorists."
