From the NY Times, as published in the Contra Costa Times:

The families were left out of the tax law in last-minute congressional negotiations over how much to cut the tax on stock dividends and capital gains, while keeping the entire bill under the Senate limit of $350 billion.

In other words, Bush wanted $500 Million, but the Democrats, who insisted it was too much money, forced the issue down to $350 milion. Now they are saying that the tax cut was not enough!

Here is the link to the Contra Costa Times Article. The above quote is foundin paragraph nine.
