Dems: Bush, GOP need to fix U.S. economy
As the world's focus remains on the possibility of war with Iraq, the Democratic Party on Saturday urged the Republican-led Congress and the Bush administration to concentrate on the country's "stagnating economy."
"These are challenging times for all Americans. We face the specter of war abroad and a steady stream of bad economic news at home," Rep. Robert Matsui of California said in the Democrats' radio address. ...more [CNN]
Great speech this week. It really does point out the insanity of the Bush economic plan, which basically amounts to tax cuts for the rich, and breaks for cronies in business. Nothing in this does the poor, or middle class any favors. Instead it hands us more deficits to impact future interest rates, and our future economy. The Republicans have become the spend and tax-cut party of the rich. Democrats might be criticized for their support for welfare for the poor, but the Republicans have become the part of "Welfare For The Rich". Which is worse, which is morally and ethically challenged? Regardless of scandals and all, at least Clinton wasn't ripping off the American public. At least the Kennedy's believe that the rich have a responsibility back to the masses. Who in their right mind can support this kind of Bush nonsense?!..mj
