Debate Shows Divides on Taxes and Trade as Candidates Seek to Break From Pack By Jim VandeHei Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, September 26, 2003; Page A01 NEW YORK, Sept. 25 -- The 10 Democratic presidential candidates sparred for two hours over the economy today, displaying deep and sometimes highly personal disagreements over tax cuts for the middle class, global trade and health care. In the longest and most contentious debate so far, the leading candidates roundly criticized President Bush's spending for Iraqi reconstruction, but generally agreed the president should and likely will get most if not all the $87 billion he has requested to continue operations there and in Afghanistan. The candidates called on Bush to pay for the funding by repealing scheduled tax cuts, though none of the top-tier Democrats said he will oppose the spending bill if Bush does not. washingtonpost.com

No president has ever been re-elected losing jobs during his four yers. Bush is in danger of using up to 4 million jobs. More than he cam blame on 9-11. And all the huge deficit spending so far hasn't created any job growth outside the military and security sectors. Robert Reich estimates that even if Bush's promise to create 600,000 new jobs by next year comes true, it is pathetic and the federal goverernment would be paying $500,000 per job. PS: Bush's approval ratings below 49% and CNN's latest poll shows only 29% will definitely vote for him. Bush is in serious-serious trouble. Meanwhile Kerry is lookign strong and a Kerry-Clark ticket would be unbeatable against Bush-Cheney.
