The Dems will look for opportunities to burn the Repugs,
when the issue looks appropriate. Examples include the
size of the tax cut, SS privatization, min wage, the
Ashcroft & DoI appointments. They
will be ready to compromise on other stuff, like the
education bill (note that vouchers have already been
deep-sixed by the Bushies).

CB: On the Bush tax cut, does it really matter ? The rich are already so rich and what is there to cut in social programs ? There isn't much federal money left for the working class , is there ? Welfare is abolished as we knew it. HUD is reinvented into oblivion. etc. What do we care about the federal government ( sorry ) ? Have the rightwing and the caps almost reached diminishing returns with respect to redistributing wealth upward by manipulating the federal government ?
