Bush and team ill prepared again for flu pandemic 1.9 M americans will die.

Prez Bush and congress, the MBA remember, can't prepare, plan or set expectations for a wet paper bag.

flu planning is months behind, the US has done little to secure sufficient vacine. and again, bush cronyism and complacency is at the center, my pet goat all over again.

unfortunately 1.9 Million americans could die as a result.. that seems a tad bit more important than your 450Billion dollar war with Iraq

Tax 'em Till They Turn Red - The Bush tax panel's plan to screw Democrats. By Daniel?Gross

Bush and congress plans massive tax changes

limit mortage deductions on 1st mortgage, to less than 300k
eliminate equity loans interest deduction
eliminate vacation home 2nd mortgages interest deductions
eliminate property tax deductions
eliminate state tax deductions.

the tacit benefit is a pseudo flat tax, actually it declines for the highest wage earners.

it presumably eliminates AMT which captures 4 M tax payers this year and if not corrected will impact 21M tax payers next year.

Of course AMT elimination costs 1.2 Trillion, the other reductions are necessary to recover the 1.2 Trillion presumably.

of course Bush gave 5 Trillion dollars in tax benefit to the top 1.3 Million tax payers, they can afford the best to pay incrementally higher taxes.

the elimination of AMT, will probably cost the average middle class family onthe costs 1000s of dollars if not 10000s. while the rich just get richer, the middle class is finally stratified.
