Edited on Wed Aug-18-04 10:27 AM by mzmolly
Bush's Minnesota Record

$12,355 In Lower Wages: In Minnesota, jobs in industries that are growing pay more than $12,355 less than industries that are contracting.

$2,039 In Higher Tuition: In Minnesota, four-year public college tuition and fees increased by $2,039 since Bush took office.

$9,880 In Debt: In Minnesota, each resident's share of the national debt has increased to $9,880 since 2000.

$1,462 In Income Decrease: Under President Clinton, family income increased $7,202 from 1992 to 2000. Under President Bush family income has declined $1,462 from 2000 to 2002.

$2,852 In Health Increase: Health care premiums for families have increased by $2,852 in Minnesota since Bush took office, a stunning 41 percent increase. <2000 MEPS Data from the Agency for Healthcare Quality Research projected forward using KFF National Premium Increase>

$493 In Gas Increase: The average household in Minnesota has seen an increase of $493 in annual gasoline cost since Bush came into office.

25,900 Unemployment Benefits Exhausted: In Minnesota, 25,900 people exhausted their benefits.


The Kerry-Edwards Plan

John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to grow our economy and unleash the potential of middle class families. They will give 98% of Americans a tax cut and will roll back George Bush's unfair tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. John Kerry and John Edwards will work to reduce health care premiums by up to $1,000. And they will give families tax breaks on up to $4,000 of tuition.

Did anyone else get one of these for their state? I know Bush is visiting, but I plan to make a flyer with this information and start getting people to distribute. :hi:

1. Maybe Bush will be able to convince the 25,900
whose benefits have run out that he is 'getting the job done'.
