Why can't they make them permanent? Or is this some kind of way to blackmail conservatives into staying in the party.

Democrats won't allow permanent tax cuts.

You would have to be insane or lacked even the foggiest concept of basic macroeconomics. Even a liberal democrat who wets himself over Keynes would know that in a period of turmoil in the economy when consumers have fewer dollars due to inflation or mass unemployment or in this case high energy prices, you do not take more dollars out of consumers pockets by raising taxes. Keynes would probably be saying cut taxes further and he would tell the government to spend spend spend! (I giggle when talking heads refer to the president as a "Supply Sider").

Increasingly, Bush's lack of leadership and inability to get a conservative agenda through Congress makes him look as weak as he is.

To date, on the "pro" list of accomplishments for his administration, we have:
1) 2 SC justices
2) tax cuts
3) GWOT

On the "Con" side of the list . . . . . . . . let's just say that it took 2 Crayons to complete.

President Bush is trying to set up his brother Jeb for election to El Presidente. Not the 08 election, but the 2012 election.

Are the tax cuts intended to stimulate economy?
The prime interest rates were raised several times in the row. Does it make sense?
