What Would Bill Clinton Do?
In a bind over tax cuts for the rich, President Bush should take a page out of Bill's playbook.

And that is undoubtedly what Clinton would do now if he were George Bush: he would totally bollix the Democrats by delaying, or scrapping, his tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. He would give an Oval Office speech, profess his continuing belief in the mystical power of tax cuts—but cite the national emergency in Iraq and the jobless recovery at home. He might even lift General Clark's deft gambit (which Clark lifted from John Edwards): a $40 billion jobs program disguised as a homeland-security program that would include reinforcing bridges and tunnels against terrorist attack and enlarging the Coast Guard and Customs services. "If Bush did something like that," said a Democratic campaign strategist, "we'd have nothing to talk about."


This article says that Bush* could pay for his 87 Billion $ war request by simply rescinding tax cuts in 2010 - just 1 year for the top 1% of taxpayers. Brilliant.
