i dont see the bufuddlement.
the critiques of bush's statement seem pretty well-founded--that without a significant revamping of conservative economic assumptions, these statements cannot be seen as anything more than empty, populist grandstanding by a lame duck president.
within the debate here, such as it is, things shook out in a strange direction or 3, but that does not mean that the premise of the critiques of the bush administration is not coherent. it just means that this thread contains sequences where the participants talked entirely past each other. it happens.
