Those who rationalize tax cuts for the super-rich, such as estate tax repeal, like to say, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” However, Hurricane Katrina reminds us that the boat-less often drown.

I cannot fathom how President Bush plans to finance rebuilding the Gulf Coast and the war in Iraq, all the while pushing for more tax cuts. Conservative pundits lament that liberals tax and spend; I see the White House’s approach as borrow and spend. Is that a necessarily better approach?

Why do so many people blame George W. Bush for a dysfunctional government these days? The blame should rest with those voters who re-elected him on Nov. 2, 2004. After all, they had four years to appraise what the man was up to.
