Vulnerable Democrats ask Congress, Obama to extend Bush tax cuts

The Hill "Reps. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.) and Mike McMahon (D-N.Y.) asked members in a “Dear Colleague” letter Thursday to support extending the tax cuts, which passed in 2001 and 2003 and are set to expire this year, for at least another two years. Specifically, Bright and McMahon are asking lawmakers to sign a letter to Obama asking him to include the tax cuts in his budget plans for 2010." Which makes more sense: to tax us out of our shorts and give money back to us for stimulus or to just not tax us in the first place?
