I'm bubbling over since I heard about Bush's plan. Man oh man oh man! Bush doesn't brag. He just does it. Ka-boom! It's almost like seeing Clintoon in reverse. Rats still reeling from one problem, and then another hot potato is thrown in their lap. Before they can throw that one away, in comes another.

You look at GW and he seems calm, cautious, slow to act. Hanging out at the ranch a lot. LOL! It's all a deception. He's been very, very busy. I guess the White House slows him down, which is why he spends time at the ranch, so he can see who he wants to see, and say what he wants to say, without being bogged down with Clintoon leftovers.

Like Rush said, if you are dam#ed if you do and dam#ed if you don't, you might as well do the right thing and be patient about delayed gratification. But when Bush thinks that way, he lets himself get cursed to the max. Might as well, right?

People at my furniture plant are feeling more optimism. They were sent home for a week yesterday. But there is hope in their eyes. Most of them are democrats, too. But they are darn glad that manufacturing is getting a boost for a change. It might be a bit grudging on the part of a few, but it's kind of like daddy cracking down on homework and the frustrated school kid might be grumbling, but he no longer thinks he will fail his class anymore.

Good post.

I guess I didn't watch this close enough. Did he include in his proposal any reduction in the self-employment tax? Currently at 15 percent, that one is a killer for small business owners operating as sole proprietors, partnerships, or LLCs.
