The "Big Agenda" and Big Opposition
The Bush administration promises a "Big Agenda" in his second term, but it's already drawing big opposition -- from Republicans. Fiscal conservatives don't like the cost or political wisdon of private savings accounts replacing portions of Social Security. There's a coalition of Republicans wanting tighter border controls as the President pushes to ease immigrant work rules. Still another block of Republicans threaten to roll back the President's Medicare prescription drug bill set to take effect next year. And more Republicans are cooling to plans to extend parts of the increasingly problematic "No Child Left Behind" law. (Boston Globe)
