Talk about things changing. Talk about passing the tipping point. We've turned a corner alright, and now articles like this are making me think the Press will go postal on Bush from time to time this fall.

It's time to admit that tax cuts, as an all-purpose economic policy - indeed the only economic policy of this administration - have failed.
Rather than admitting the mistakes, some continue to cling to the notion that cutting taxes will work. It takes time. Or they point to a different set of numbers in an attempt to prove that the job creation is adequate. This is not only disingenuous, it's damaging.

There is a better way to create jobs than to try doing it indirectly through tax cuts. Do it directly by building things. History tells us so.

Don't forget who will be visiting Iowa today.... Ol' Dicky Cheney.... Talk about a grand F-U Welcome for the ol' Halliburton VP....
