Larry Kudlow:

Will someone please explain why the Bush White House and the Republican Congress are not trumpeting this economic boom on a daily basis? Their polls are sagging, but the economy is soaring. This simply shouldn't be.

If former President Clinton had overseen this economy, he'd have held daily Rose Garden news conferences to mark the occasion. In fact, former President Reagan did just that in the booming 1980s -- he gave speech after speech touting the success of his supply-side tax cuts. Yet President Bush seldom goes into the current economic story, and when he does it's just a mention...

The GOP should also launch a new round of pro-growth tax reform to flatten tax rates, broaden the income base, and vastly simplify the dreaded IRS tax code.

Republicans in Congress must strike while the iron is hot, adding to pro-growth policies and expanding their economic-growth coalition. There’s really only one question a GOP lawmaker can be asked these days: You gonna be smart, or stupid?
