What is worrisome to many of us is that we see no indication of such humility with Bush and company. I've seen that sort of thing before in other management teams. Their vision is so absolute, no facts can interfere with it. Maybe Bush is just putting a brave face on, realizing the tremendous mistakes he's made...and is a wiser man for it. But, there are no data that really indicate that. Indeed, the indications that I get is that he has a mandate to go full out, now that he actually got more votes than anyone else. He's talking about making his tax cuts permanent, adding a few more, and revamping Social Security by letting younger people opt out (or at least partially opt out). Plus he wants to revamp the tax law....which should mean changing it so it favors "those who create jobs" even more. All of this should be doable. The only thing that he cannot do is get Roe vs. Wade overturned. That would give the Democrats an easy way to be the majority party again. Dan M.
