Bush to Push for Permanent Tax Cuts

NEW YORK -- President Bush said Thursday he would call on Congress to make permanent his tax cuts in his State of the Union address next week, CNNMoney.com reported.

"We'll talk about fiscal policy in my State of the Union, talk about the Congress to be wise about how we spend the people's money and to make the tax cuts permanent," Bush told reporters during a new conference.

Bush said the U.S. economy is growing and strong, but that the global economy is becoming more competitive.

"I will talk about initiatives to make sure our health care and education and energy (policy) recognizes the realities of the world in which we live today and anticipates the problems of the world tomorrow so that we can remain competitive," the president said.
