chillax, Genie - it is just a political move, and that damn liberal Yahoo Inc.'s headline said it all: Bush Signs Tax Bill in Swing State of Iowa.

the swing voters he's trying to reel in with the locally-signed act, wellll....the more self-interested (or perhaps, to be charitable, 'entreprenuerial') ones may go whoopee, some money back!

the ones who don't appreciate such transparent pandering will go what a typically politician-type pandering attempt at late-election-cycle vote-buying...

...so it may backfire on him. demographic breakdowns on this one are awful hard to gauge.

here's the part of the article that spoke just as loudly as the headline for me: The tax cut also will swell the deficit, which is at a record high.

and there's your '"financially responsible Republicans" chuckle of the day.
