Several things he mentioned will probably go forward. I don't think they're necessarily good for the country or our economy, but they're likely to be passed. I'd say these are likely: Ending double taxation of dividends Accelerated tax cuts to seniors Medical liability reform I'd say these make little logical sense, but are still likely: Aids relief of some sort to Africa Faith based initiative War with Iraq. I highly doubt anything positive for the environment or for alternative fuels research that he proposed will be passed, but would be pleased to be proved wrong.
