Democrats have accepted the inevitability of some kind of tax reduction's passing Congress this year. House minority leader Dick Gephardt has already said so.

...blaze of upsweeps and backyards and ballads, in her children dancing between urine and violets, in her singing to us between the sleeping and the waking. And as she entered into our 21st century bloodstream, paddling a river of risks, she became the color of bells, set sail on the wind and sailed home. Said hello to our own goodbyes...
