So what's bush gonna spend it on? Gay marriage ammendment? New war? National sales tax instead of income tax? What do you think?

Give it to favoured corporations, I would expect.

I think he's going to spend it on a kingsize white chocolate Kit-Kat and a go-kart. That's what I'd spend it on.

We can only hope. :D

Well, Bush is going to spend it on the most important issue. And when you're fighting a war against terrorism, that's obviously the gay marriage ban. ;)

You are all wrong. He will revert to his old ways and spend it on cocaine and booze.

God, I would HOPE eliminating the Income Tax! What an abomination! ICK!

Surely that would require quite a significant reduction in the size of the government? Bush doesn't seem to want much of that.

A national sales tax would be extremely regressive.

Maybe he'll start another war? France is my guess. After all 'you are either with us or against us'.

good poll question with good choices
and others please post.

I got a postcard from him. He said he was gonna buy me a boat.

Not with the big-gub'ment shrub in the Oval Office.

He, as well as anyone, knows that fear will always be stronger than hope.

And while I don't want to flame, but I must say: That's stupid.

Taxes need to be raised, even and people need to be taxed on a progressive scale (more money made, more taxes paid.) We need universal health care, one public school system, and much more.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with big government.

I see two things happening. I see the Bush administration has wide, sweeping and long-term goals. I also see them as somewhat ineffectual in carrying them out. While they are adept at the promotional aspect of movements and goals, I don't see them as being very competent at creating contingency plans for things that don't go exactly their way. They will reach farther in the second term and fall further short. By the end of these four years, I am confident that they will be thoroughly discredited.

but with good control of both of the senate and congress wont the first 2 years be full of rapid policy making since he cant run again and he has a clear mandate from the people.

There is when it starts to interfere with people's personal lives.

Clear mandate? What clear mandate? That being asked, yes, I do see the first two years being full of lots of policy making. I also see said policies getting of to (supposedly) good starts, but fairly quickly falling into decay.
