To his credit, the actor-director-adapter approached this job not as a solemn duty or an egotistical...
...individual tax cuts to stimulate the economy, and a $500-per-child tax credit for those who make less than $75,000 a year. He's taken some shots for his stand on Medicare cuts, but he's counting on his G.O.P. connections, including a visit by actor Charlton Heston, to put him over...
