The article says the panel is to have a report by the end of July and Treasury will review and report to the President by the end of 2005.

BTW, I love this poo-pooing inserted in the article:

That means that popular deductions for millions of Americans -- like interest payments on home mortgages and charitable contributions, among others -- could be affected.

I view this paragraph as an effort to drum up opposition.

I view the paragraph as completely idiotic. We don't need "popular deductions" if we don't have income tax.

National Sales Tax is the way to go!!
