Tough Sell

It's great to see that, even in the reddest of red states, Bush is facing a tough sell on his Social Security plan.

It's going to be fun to watch him lose this battle. Josh Marshall is covering every moment diligently.

Meanwhile, the White House's new budget calls for sharp cuts to farm subsidies, which I'm sure will be popular with that Rural American Heartland with which he so often falsely identifies himself.

Naturally, the one proposal that's never on the table when it comes to the budget is taking back the tax cuts for the rich. Instead, he wants to make them permanent. Screw the farmers, protect the millionaires. A real man of the people.
