Why I Love the Senate: The Senate reversed itself today and decided to cut the proposed Bush tax cut in half. The reason? The costs of the war. A group of Democrats and moderate Republicans seemed to have decided that now was not the time for a big tax cut. The funny thing is that the conservatives seem to always harp on spending for programs but what about tax cuts? Aren't those also fiscally irresponsible at times?

It should come as no suprise that the moderate Republicans who voted for shrinking the tax cut will be labled as traitors and maybe seem as election targets. I would write them today and thank them for being true fiscal conservatives.
