"Reuters reports that President Bush plans to unveil an economic stimulus package expected to reach up to $300 billion, including "targeted" tax cuts, but only a 50% cut in taxes on corporate dividends to shareholders. "

You mean the President has finally figured out that there are problems in the economy?

Now if knocking out Saddam would end 'the war on terrorism' and end the need for the 'Department of Home Defense' that would be a crowd pleaser and be a boost to the economy. However I suspect that ending Saddam will not end the 'war on terrorism' hence, then ending Saddam is some kind of a fakeroo and the economy is more likely to get worse than better.

Look past the media's attempt to ruin the economic recovery with every bit of gloom they can manipulate, the economy is getting better, it has been for awhile. If not for what the Bush Administration has done already the the Clinton recession would have been much worse. Do you really think Bush did not know the economy existed?

You believe a tax cut will hurt the economy? U need a lesson in factually presented ECON100, not the dim "lies-a'plenty" version.
