Bush could also be waiting to be elected to a second term,
one in which the disputed results of election 2000 won't matter much....In his second term, it could very well be cut, slash, and burn on "big government". But he has to
get re-elected first....

Bush could also be waiting to be elected to a second term, ...

The only reason we got a good second tax cut and a recovering economy was Bush was starting to feel that his re-election was in jeopardy. During the second term, he'll have no such pressure. My guess is we'll see tax increases and even more spending.
