Bipartisanship
Bush supports the Democratic aspirations of raising the minimum wage - with one condition:
Bush said at a Wednesday news conference that any pay hike should be accompanied by tax and regulatory relief for small businesses, potentially a tough sell for Democrats, who are about to reassume control of the House and Senate.
Despite years and years of corporate tax breaks, Bush will not sign off unless he's given more tax cuts. Will Democrats take this from a sitting lame duck president, perhaps the lamest in history? We'll see.
