Taxing and Vexing

Let’s see. First President Bush gives a trillion-dollar-plus tax refund. Then the government returns to a deficit and has to raise the debt ceiling. Second, he pushes to allow private investment of Social Security money in the face of a staggering meltdown in the stock market. I only hope the public is smarter than Bush and sees the stupidity of these positions.
