Simple as this, "If Americans aren't working, America's not working."

[blm]

Simple but GREAT words.

Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry on Thursday proposed sending $25 billion to states struggling with budget deficits as part of a broader plan to jump-start the economy and spur job creation.
The two-year "State Tax Relief and Education" fund would help states that have had to cut education spending and lay off police and firefighters under Bush administration policies that have "brought back the days of deficits, debt and doubt," Kerry said.
"When it comes to creating opportunity, restoring fiscal discipline, putting values back into our economy, and preparing for the jobs of the future, George Bush hasn't lifted a finger. I intend to move mountains," Kerry said at the University of New Hampshire, where he outlined an economic package that mixed new ideas with some old proposals.
"Let me put it plainly: If Americans aren't working, America's not working," the Massachusetts senator said.
