Bush Unveils $674 Billion Economic Plan

This is the part I don't get ---is the plan going to cost the government $674 Billion? Tax rate cuts shouldn't take all that much money to do. And of course all social programs need to start getting hacked away at -----I think one good thing would be to combine all welfare programs to eliminate all the duplication in paperwork and they all serve the same people anyways ---combine HUD, food stamps, TANF, SSI, Medicaid and all the rest under one program and it would end tons of paperwork.

Yes that is the cost to government (which I might add, they hope to make up in increased revenue) 674 Billion.

All social programs should be handled at the state level and in each states manner of choice, without fed interference, influence. Why should I, in Oregon have to pay for New Yorks moronic policies by supporting its welfare system? I shouldn't and neither should they have to support my states silly/socialist policies.
