Bush's tax cut is a good one

Plus, the idea of making it retroactive so that it can help the economy in the near term is beautiful.

I'm very optimistic. This should be a good one if they can get it passed!

Chance of being passed in any form that helps anyone but the rich (Republican rich, defined as those who don't have to work for a living) and those with children... pretty much nil. Single people and DINKS exist only to provide tax money to those with children, don't you know.
