Next President to Face
At their national convention, Republicans were short on specifics on how to pay for an economic agenda in a second Bush administration. One reason is that President Bush (news - web sites) could end up having to back a tax increase, just as his father did.

But nobody wanted to spoil the Madison Square Garden party by mentioning such unpleasantries. After all, Republicans are insisting that Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) is the candidate who will increase taxes.

"Taxes are going up next year no matter who wins the presidency in November," concluded conservative economist Bruce Bartlett, who advised both Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) and the first President Bush.

By 2008, all of our taxes will go to service the debt. No omney for defense, just money for interest.

3. Isn't it Karl Rove's plan?

To break the government so the corporations can take over?

Take Social Security and education off the plates of the federal government? Do away with social programs?

I think their plan is right on schedule.
