Dick's at it again, assuring us that the President's policies are good for us. Last time it was Iraq's WMDs. This time it is taxes and deficits: Cheney Says New Unit Will Prove Tax Cuts Boost Revenue: Vice President Cheney said Thursday night that the verdict is in before the Bush administration's new tax analysis shop has even opened for business: Tax cuts boost federal government revenue. . . . Cheney touted President Bush's recently announced proposal to create a tax analysis division as a move toward providing more evidence for the administration's side of the argument.The idea for a new tax analysis shop sounds familiar too, as does the fact that Cheney already knows what its conclusions will be. Remember the "Office of Special Plans" that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith set up to "fix" what they believed to be the inability of exisiting intelligence agencies to "properly" analyze intelligence on Iraq? Gee, do you think there might be a pattern here?
As was true with Iraq, I certainly hope Cheney is right. But you'll excuse me if I take both his assurances and the output from the new tax shop with more than a bit of skepticism.
