He'll likely tie making tax cuts permanent in with Katrina recovery

[norml]

in tonight's speech.

That's my prediction.

What's your's?

[Inland]

1. Sure. What else is in the conservative playbook?

Now if he ties Katrina recovery to invading Syria or reforming Social Security, THAT would be a real surprise.

[TwilightZone]

2. New tax cuts on top of making the current ones permanent.

His minions have already been floating trial balloons to the effect over the past few days.

[norml]

4. Tonight's Theme: Tax Cuts = Recovery

Of course what they're really talking about is a tax shift, off of those who are richer, on to those who are poorer, which is the opposite of what makes for a healthy economy.

[papau]

3. Tax Cuts are a return of "your" money if in surplus, or a needed stimulus

if we are in deficit.

Just as the 9/11 conection to Katrinia will be explained by Bush (again, and again, and hopefully better than he did in the Saturday radio address), the need for tax cuts that increase the birth tax on our grandchildren (the National Debt does seem to grow well under Bush) will be mentioned again and again.

He will also ask for more H1 visas for India and China as the new jobs involved in the cleanup are not jobs US folk want. Plus illegals must be allowed to cross border to fill positions,

Plus Corporate profits must be increased by helping those patriotic companies that were given no-bid price fixed contracts and allowing them to pay less than the minimum wage.

Plus we need a reconstruction Czar that will give an open-ended no bid profit guaranteed contract to Cheney's Halliburton and George H W Bush's Carlyle - with a piece for GE for all that good media work on NBC (a special check to go to Tweety for Hardball and Tim for the Sunday Meet the Press).

I think the speech writes itself.
