O. F. F. S.

According to the Associated Press, President Bush told congressional leaders privately on Thursday he favors personal income tax rebates and tax breaks for businesses to help avert a recession, officials said, as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke joined in calls for an economic stimulus package.

I figure that if tax breaks are good when the economy is thriving, they'll be twice as good six years later when the economy is down, right? Or maybe that's just the only domestic policy trick this pony has.

If his next recommendation is that we all go on vacation and cut brush to improve the economy, then I'll know for certain.

Tax breaks for big business or us little guys? I'm all for tax breaks for us little guys... because of Drew's business, we owe a lot.

It's King George II. I feel fairly confident that these tax breaks would to go all the 'little folks' making only six figures annually.

I bet there'll be a headline $500 all-comers rebate, and snuck in with that will be a nice fat break for his core constituents. I'm betting it'll be a 'no tax on dividends' play.
