| This should make the resident monetary policy / economy / stock market types 'round here happy. They love to argue, lol. Rumors fly that President Bush may be willing to raise taxes. BY LAWRENCE B. LINDSEY During the recent off-year elections, the president repeatedly pointed to the booming economy and noted that his tax cuts were responsible. With growth strong and unemployment low despite the ending of the stock-market bubble, terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq, he had every reason to be proud. Moreover, both economic theory and the actual timing of the economic revival support his claims regarding the tax cuts. |

| #1 If W does this, the Pubs will be dead for a generation. I wonder if this last election was about government competence. I have a growing sense that nothing works the way it should. My wife's green card story was an INS horror show. FEMA and Katrina, Border Enforcement, bridges to nowhere, 50,000 Soddy student visas, VISA Express, Iraqi occupation, CIA and DoS follies, and my personal favorite: TSA that strip searches 90 year old grandmothers will letting young Arab men pass. Many more examples... I wonder how much gov't incompetence and annoyance the people will tolerate? |
