nonsense and not one he would implement. Kerry is not George Bush--he won't send the economy over the cliff. But he can promise middle tax class cuts now for political gain, and when he gets in office he can let them run out. He will have the excuse that the economy was in much worse shape than we were led to believe by the economic numbers coming from the Bush administration, so now he has to act responsibly and not extend the cuts. Dean may very well lose the election for taking the responsible position all along. How foolish of him!
