Bush defends tax cuts and hints at defense boost
President Bush defended tax cuts amid election-year criticism and signaled a major military and homeland defense spending rise. He pinned deficits on recession and terrorism and outlined a 2 trillion budget with about 730 billion for domestic and defense programs, promising to resubmit an economic revival plan with the budget blueprint. The remarks came in a public session with Alan Greenspan as Democrats sharpen attacks on the economic record.
