Reply #13: I've already read that the tax cuts may be on the table re the $87B. [View All]

I don't think Bush could pull the "you shouldn't have repealed my tax cuts! They would have saved the economy!" line. $87B is peanuts compared to the sum total of all the tax cuts he's already given out.

Besides, if we had to repeal some tax cuts because we could not otherwise afford this $87B, this would be directly because of another Bush initiative (Iraq), not a Democratic initiative. It would only prove the point that Bush cannot balance the nation's checkbook for the life of him.
