NATION, Page 41American NotesTHE DEFICITNo Gains, So Pains
George Bush has decided that, for a while at least, he can live
without a capital-gains tax cut. After failing to force the Senate
to include such a reduction in next year's budget bill, Bush
abandoned the idea last week. The President's backdown could
provide the basis for a compromise that would undo $16 billion in
across-the-board spending cutbacks that went into effect last
month. If no agreement can be reached, $8.1 billion will be slashed
from popular programs such as Medicare and college loans.
