Scott McClellen- "Bush is a Fiscal Conservative" - Page 5

Only have to be 35 to be president.... As for Millionaires in congress, I do believe Dems outnumbered the GOP at last check. I think some politicians do try to look out for their people, but to some "Their people" means their money people.

Seen the New Energy Bill? There is a hybred Lexus SUV that sells for $240k. You get a Tax break if you by this car. It gets 28 miles to the gallon! However you DO NOT get a tax break if you Buy a Honda Civic (42 Miles per Gallon) or even a Toyota PRIUS (65 Miles per gallon!) They say it is an "Insentive" for luxury buyers to be more envoromently friendly.
Another part of the Bill that made people want to puke was If you installed this certain type of energy effciant refrigerater you would get a tax break. One Problem It has to be installed in a home with a property value OVER $2.5 Million.

Actually I'm not old enough for the presidential ticket for some time yet (like, say, about 16.5 years)

I sometimes toy with the idea of running for local office, but I figure I'd better get my credit/debt stuff straightened out first.

I would just like to point out that *I* know how old one must be to be President. Although I can't remember if you have to reach that age before the vote or before the actual inauguration.

But, it sounds nice - especially with the Regan reference thrown in.

May be he's fiscally conservative on the homefront. You know, one of those rich dudes that only tip 5%, or pay their illegal immigrant housekeepers $2 an hour. I would believe that.
