Tax Cuts-a-Go-Go

The AP via the NY Times reports:
With no fanfare, President Bush on Friday signed the most sweeping rewrite of corporate tax law in nearly two decades, showering $136 billion in new tax breaks on businesses, farmers and other groups. [...]

The centerpiece is $76.5 billion in new tax relief for the battered manufacturing sector, but manufacturing is broadly defined to include not just factories but also oil and gas producers, engineering, construction and architectural firms and large farming operations.

Your tax dollars at work, folks...and much like you, they're gonna have to start working a lot harder very soon.
