TAMPA -- President Bush, brushing aside concerns about the large budget deficit, renewed demands that Congress extend his tax cuts, and charged Monday that Democrats would increase taxes.

Sen. John Kerry, the front-running Democratic presidential candidate, said he agreed with Bush on keeping in place two tax cuts.

But Kerry said Bush's overall economic policies had not created jobs.

"President Bush's failed economic policies have resulted in the loss of 3 million jobs and the biggest surpluses in history turned into the biggest deficits," Kerry said.

The duel foreshadowed what looks to be a major issue in this year's presidential campaign, with Bush trying to cast Democrats as tax-raisers and the Democrats saying Bush's tax cuts favor the rich.

1. As Bush would say...

If he wants to use taxes as a means of achieving victory against Kerry, all I can say is "BRING IT ON!"

2. Whose? By how much? When? How?

HE is trying to frame the "What?" but he won't answer the other pertinent questions. I hope that the American people will demand an answer this time.
