Americans Too Optimistic to Settle for Bush's Economy says Kerry

[JI7]

this is a great response to the bush attack ads on kerry not being optimistic about bush's economy. they need to turn this into an ad sometime. or get one of the independent groups to do it. that should be the message "WE ARE TOO OPTIMISTIC TO SETTLE FOR BUSH'S LOW STANDARDS".


<Americans Too Optimistic to Settle for Bush's Economy
Kerry spokesman Phil Singer:

“The core economic debate in this election is about how to make life easier for everyday families and creating opportunities -- John Kerry is the only candidate with a viable plan to do so. The President's so-called optimism doesn't do a thing to help everyday Americans deal with the record health costs, energy bills, tuition spikes or other quality of life problems that have occurred during his first term. It's pessimistic to accept things as they are, it's optimistic, as John Kerry says, to work on making things better.”

THE BUSH JOBS RECORD:


Worst Post-Recovery Job-Growth Record: George Bush’s jobs record is the worst postwar economic recovery in history with only 142,000 private sector jobs created since the end of the recession, 4.4 million less than the historical average.


The American Economy Has Missed the Bush Jobs Prediction for Ten of the Past Twelve Months. In promoting the May 2003 stimulus package, the Bush Administration predicted that the tax cuts would stimulate the economy and create 306,000 new jobs each month. Since the tax bill became law on May 28, 2003, the economy has missed this mark ten out of twelve months.


Bush Faces the Worst Jobs Record of Any President Running for Reelection. George Bush faces the worst jobs record of any President who has run for reelection in nearly sixty years. From January 2001 when Bush first took office until May 2004, the economy has lost 1.9 million private sector jobs. >

1. Excellent

The Republicans try to portray Kerry as "pessimistic" because he doesn't have his head in the sand like them, pretending that everything is fine. If they want to keep their heads in the sand, great. Just makes it that much easier to kick them in the ass.
