What's making the House Republican leadership feel so big in their
britches is a little hard to fathom, but they seem convinced their
fortunes are looking brighter. Right after they passed a budget that
opens them up for attacks on their plan to end Medicare and slash all
domestic spending to the extent that government would barely be able
to function, they're speculating on escalating their tax fight.

Note that the budget they passed this week not only maintains the Bush
tax cuts, it would give people making $1 million or more per year an
average $265,000 apiece in new tax cuts in addition to the $129,000
they would get from the extension of President Bush’s tax cuts. It
appears that Republicans want to run on this.
