As I understand it, the economist's objection to the Bush administration's tax plan is not the money it spends on tax cuts, etc over the next 2 years. When you're in a recession, you spend money to support the economy. The problem is uses the economy now as an excuse to make changes to the tax law until 2010 or 2011 - when someone else will take the blame.

Changing the tax structure for a year makes a little bit of sense. Using that to push for a we-love-rich-white-men policy at the expense of the economic strength of the country in the future is dirty.

I've said it before. Think about where you want the world to be in 100 years, after you're dead and gone. When I think about it that way, I feel pretty liberal.
