...trump the cautious McCain, who talked more about paying down the debt than paying off the voters. But he hadn't bargained on pinch-fisted Yankees like the man at the Nashua Chamber of Commerce breakfast who stood up and punctured the theory. "I'm tired of all this tax-cut nonsense," the questioner told the Governor. "Can we stop it, please?" To which Bush replied, "I don't believe it's nonsense. I'm not gonna drop my plan.

His plan, which he intends to unveil this week, would cost about $600 billion over 10 years, or 40% less than Bush's, and focus on Social Security protection and on propping up lower-income Americans.
