The Administration's PR Problem on the Economy

While the Bush Administration has been unable to get the message out that supply-side tax cuts are responsible for an economy with soaring tax revenue and a 5% unemployment rate, it goes out of its way to hail the pork-laden Energy and Transportation bills.

The two bills, both above Bush's requested amounts, will do the absolute minimum to help energy and transportation concerns for the U.S. and instead waste money on congressional pet projects.

For an Administration that's supposed to be keenly focused, it is spending way too much money on wasteful bills and not enough time on convincing America that the tax cuts that saved our economy must be extended.
