Thank you for a thoughtful response. Let's take a look at each point you made:

<<Direct spending on infrastructure, for instance, building a new highways or clean fuels program>>

Increased government spending increases the deficit and causes a drag on the economy. Less government, not more government, is the goal.

<<incentives to business to hire new workers>>

What incentives? Tax breaks? Subsidies? That's corporate welfare. Nobody likes corporate welfare.

<<incentives to keep US jobs in this country>>

More corporate welfare.

<<bullying corporations not to relocate jobs>>

You are advocating more regulation here. That's counterproductive and anti-growth. Companies will find a way to hire who they want where they want without government bureaucrats intervening.

<<working to bolster our most valuable businesses like high-tech and entertainment>>

How so? Sharing government technology is one idea, but that's already being done. But it sounds like you're just suggesting more corporate welfare.

<<Bush has done none of this. Kerry wants to do all of this.>>

Exactly! We don't want what Kerry and every other Democrat wants to do to the economy.
