[thucydides]

Bush is President of all the people, and it is a sad fact that most of them have no real problem with bloated government or high taxes (as long as they think someone else is paying more than they are). He has to carefully pick his issues, just as Reagan did. Reagan lost ground on government spending, but he did get extremely high tax rates down, he gave the economy an enormous boost, and he ended the Cold War with the collapse of the Soviet Union without a shot being fired. Bush is out to make our lives safer, and to repair some of the enormous damage to national security done during the Clinton years. Meanwhile, he is going along with a lot of nauseating stuff because he really has no choice. If he gets a better Congress in the Fall, he will improve.
