[Hostage]

You think I can rest after reading what you linked me to?

Excerpt:

"The Treasury Department is also formulating a series of options to simplify or overhaul the corporate and personal income tax system. And Social Security reform advocates insist they have been promised an all-out push from the White House to enact proposals that would divert some of the Social Security payroll tax into personal accounts that could be invested in the stock market."

And if that isn't enough, here's another:

"Ueland said Republicans are waiting for Bush to signal that they should move forward with a package of tax cuts aimed at investors, including proposals increasing the amount of stock losses that can be deducted from income taxes, raising the contribution limit on retirement accounts and cutting or eliminating taxes on stock dividends."

and yet another:

"Bush has also promised proposals to curb lawsuits, especially malpractice suits, and some kind of effort to cut back business regulations, possibly on Superfund environmental cleanups."

Is this all a dream or what??????

Is this all a dream or what??????

I am thrilled that this is where the discussion has turned in less than one day. Think of what we were talking about before yesterday.

This reminds me of what a confederate soldier said when asked about why the troops were so intensely committed to Stonewall Jackson: "He brings us victories".

Well, I've had a lot of differences with Bush at times, over middle-east policy and over distaste with the "new tone in Washington" concept, and over giving some ground on the domestic agenda.

But I'm ready and willing to admit that maybe someone (Bush and his team) had a better plan than me, knew more than I, and could produce better strategy and better thinking than I could.

I'm ready to commit to following Bush's lead.

Why?

Because he brings us victories.

Sorry to interrupt your beauty rest. But you might find some more interesting bedtime reading in the UPI story *here.
