...to show some spending discipline in Washington DC.

YES!

[Bonaparte]

Spending discipline, YESSSSS!!!!

[ewm138]

The tax example was brilliant: family of four, 40k income, taxes go from about $1100 to $45. "Tax cuts for the rich..." will sound really stupid during the rebuttal.

[SamAdams76]

Lower taxes and greater investment will help economy expand.

More jobs mean more taxpayers!

(Tom DeLay appears to like what Bush is saying so far)

[MJY1288]

[PhiKapMom]

DemocRATs are against the American Family!

[eabinga]

WE SHOULD ALSO STRENGTHEN THE
ECONOMY BY TREATING INVESTORS
EQUALLY IN OUR TAX LAWS.
IT'S FAIR TO TAX A COMPANY'S
PROFITS, IT IS NOT FAIR TO
AGAIN TAX THE SHAREHOLDER ON
THE SAME PROFITS.
TO BOOST INVESTOR CONFIDENCE
AND TO HELP THE NEARLY 10
MILLION SENIORS WHO RECEIVE
DIVIDEND INCOME, I ASK YOU TO
END THE UNFAIR DOUBLE TAXATION
OF DIVIDENDS.
LOWER TAXES AND GREATER
INVESTMENT WILL HELP THIS
ECONOMY EXPAND.
MORE JOBS MEAN MORE TAXPAYERS
AND HIGHER REVENUES TO OUR
GOVERNMENT.
THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS THE
DEFICIT AND MOVE TOWARD A
BALANCED BUDGET IS TO ENCOURAGE
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TO SHOW
SOME SPENDING DISCIPLINE IN
WASHINGTON, D.C.

[Milwaukee_Guy]

One half of the chamber gave a standing "O".

The other side of the aisle is in shock...

[clintonh8r]

[Letitring]

LOL. Show some spending discipline in Washington DC. They all stood up applauding. Hipocrits.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Where are all the "Bush is not a conservative" whiners now?

[Admin Moderator]

Now that this one is going, I will unlock the other.

[CFC__VRWC]

RATS......

What utterly despicable scum - total hypocrites. If this President is so horrible, why don't they do the "honorable" thing and boycott the speech? It's not like I would miss them.

[Catspaw]

I can see the President okay, but if I want to see anything besides fuzzy shapes, I have to put on my specs. If I want to freep, I have to take off my specs. I hate this "getting old" stuff.

This section is about the economy. What's next?
