Why can't he? He found $2 trillion laying around to spend on his pork programs. Why can't he find some money for a tax cut that he promised?

why can't he is not the question. The question is why are you all criticizing him as if he is not going to or as if he never intended to, just because it hasn't happened yet? why would it necessarily have to be part of the stimulus bill?

As per Senator Reid, announcing the deal reached on the stimulus bill today:

""More than one-third of this bill is dedicated to providing tax relief for middle-class families, cutting taxes for 95 percent of American workers," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at a Capitol news conference where he was joined by moderates from both parties whose support is essential for the legislation's final passage."

Stimulus Deal Reached: $789 Billion
