He DID raise tariffs on steel. And on Canadian softwood, which will raise the price of housing, much of that money going to the government. Doesn't matter if "all" are the result of GWB, if ANY of them are it's a violation of what he says, and some people want to believe, he holds dear.

A bit like a chief of police saying he is committed to fighting crime, but his extorting a TV set or car every once in a while isn't a violation of that pledge. He doesn't have to be the only one getting TVs illegitimately for it to be a violation of his oath.

And, the vast majority of the tax cuts are going to people who don't care about the price of a modest house, or car. So in effect the buck are funnelled to them.

I'll wait, but the picture is getting clearer. Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
