Champagne tax cuts: Congress extends Bush's gift to the wealthy
Tribune Editorial

The federal budget deficit for the current year is estimated at $300 billion. So, naturally, the Republican Congress has responded by extending President Bush's tax cuts to the rich.
It that sounds like a non sequitur, that's because it is.
Unless your last name happens to be Bush. In that case, cutting taxes on investment income is your pat answer to any economic or political problem. George H.W. Bush tried it. His son did it in 2003. Now George W.'s gift to the wealthiest Americans will be extended beyond 2008 to 2010.

That will cost the federal treasury an estimated $20 billion over five years...
