Tax bill could boost Medicare and Social Security trust funds
The Heritage Foundation and Center for Data Analysis contend the $330 billion tax cut signed by President Bush will lift GDP from 3.3 to 3.9 percent in 2004, add hundreds of thousands of jobs, raise savings, and boost payroll tax revenues to trust funds. They warn reform is still needed to stabilize Medicare and Social Security.

Oppose National Slave Memorial on Washington Mall
Lowell, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, argues against a federal memorial on the Washington Mall to slavery. He says preambles mislead, incentives risk polarization, and such a monument would inflame racial tensions rather than reconcile. He warns it would be hard to remove once built and urges voters to oppose it.

He attributes alarm to Ehud Olmert and Ariel Sharon, recalling Kissinger and Sharon memoirs to claim a rushed process threatens regional democracy. He notes he hosts After Hours on Fox News Channel.
