USATODAY.com - Bush plans to cut taxes permanently and overhaul tax system

Okay, and this is going to help the deficit how, exactly? (Ironically, I was just talking to my money manager earlier today about diversifying this year, while the capital gains tax was still low, because there was no way it could stay that way, not with the deficit being the way that it is...)

My one hope to come out of a bush victory (I'm not spelling his name with capitals any more, either) was that at least he'd be forced to deal with the problems his first term caused. And now it's looking like they're heading straight into things with the blinders still on... (Okay, it's been a week, and his second term hasn't even started yet, but still...)
