President Bush's budget will have at least one tax hike in it when it's presented to Congress today. It calls for more than doubling the airport security tax from $2.50 to $5.50 for a one-way airline ticket -- and raising it from $5.00 to $8.00 for each flight with multiple legs. Congress passed the original tax after 9/11. The airlines promise to fight the tax hike. (Washington Times)
