From InstaPundit:
I too am worried about what Matthew Yglesias calls Bush Unleashed, at least so far as spending and social legislation goes. Democratic hopes that Bush would somehow be compelled to govern like a Democrat, for no clear reason that I can see, were always destined to be dashed, but the pickups in the house and Senate mean he’ll have a freer hand than I was expecting when I endorsed him.
Jeesh Glenn, you’re being a pessimist. I thought you were a small-l libertarian?
What if Bush used his “mandate” to:
- Cut Spending
- Fix the Income Tax system.
- Reform Social Security.
- Scare Iran into reforming on their own without us doing anything.
That’s what I’m hoping for…to hell with moving to the right socially, what if Bush moved way over to the right fiscally? Wouldn’t that be cool?
