Kerry Widens Criticism of Bush Economy

By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer

BOSTON - John Kerry (news - web sites) is broadening his economic assault on President Bush (news - web sites) with a "misery index" that suggests a combination of soaring college and health care costs and stagnant incomes have battered working families during Bush's term, campaign documents obtained Sunday showed.

Much of the Democrats' criticism of Bush is focused on job losses during his tenure, but Kerry's study argues that far broader and more ominous economic trends are at work.

"Less noted, but perhaps even more important, is the fact that middle-class families are increasingly being squeezed by the rising cost of health care, college tuition and gasoline at the same time that wages and incomes are stagnating and personal bankruptcies are at record levels," the campaign report said.
