There's a BIG difference.

Bush's 2001 tax cuts and rebate checks were for all taxpayers. The rebate we're getting now may have been the Dems' idea, but Bush gave no resistance at all and I haven't seen one non-politician say this is a good idea. Seems to me Bush would have had a decent issue to use against the Dems by doing the right thing here and calling it useless, debt-increasing pandering to buy votes.
