A DEBATE WE CAN'T LOSE:

Bush set to join Democrats in battle of tax cuts (LYNN SWEET, January 7, 2003, Chicago Sun-Times)

President Bush in Chicago today will propose creating "re-employment accounts" to help the jobless as part of an economic stimulus plan that also features a cut in taxes on stock dividends, which Democrats blasted as favoring the rich.

Democrats offered their own stimulus plan Monday, featuring $300 federal tax rebates for individuals.

When the Democrats are saying "yes, but", the argument's already been won by the Republicans. The GOP should just add the Democrats' rebate plan to their own and pass the whole thing. The 8-10 vulnerable Senate Democrats aren't going to vote against tax cuts. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 7, 2003 10:46 AM
