And Bush isn't advancing conservatism at all. Besides the tax cut, I can't think of one truly conservative major domestic policy position that he's taken. I can think of some little things. Rebuke the Kyoto treaty, and enact a $7 trillion dollar Medicare entitlement . . . one step forward, two steps back.

By the way, enacting a tax cut and increasing spending by 25% isn't a tax cut at all, it's a de facto tax increase put off for a few years, with interest. We have to pay for it sometime.

YES. Someone who is realistic. Thomas Jefferson would be proud!

I regard tax cuts with skepticism. Anyone can cut taxes.
(except Democrats who constantly want to turn back any position of tax equity).

Governments should cut spending first to justify their cuts. For one, why doesn't Bush cut NPR funding? It would be in his best interest.

I would like to hear more about spending cuts and debt repayment - something that politicians just can't seem to do.

Kyoto treaty is NOT a small thing -- if we went along, it would be like a $1 trillion tax hike.

Think: What would President Gore have done?
