k-- jobs are and have been growing. Sadly only avg 250K per month over population growth,, but they are growing. Now-- should anyone be stupid enough to say "tax the rich" you must 1st wonder why? Well it SOUNDS good but you KNOW he will not tax his wife and their friends so that only leaves the middle class and poor that Kerry knows nothing about. Oh yes, lets stop tax breaks to business so their costs rise, they can afford less employees, laid off employees spend less, and the circle widens. Kerrys economic policy was written by a 6th grader..

Show me who's got a better growth path, and I'll decide my vote. I understand. Most Americans do vote their pocketbook. I understand the GW job plan. Kerry hasn't revealed his yet.

Hi Kumar, Although it doesnt help those folks who are currently unemployed, i would concentrate on the 5.5% unemployment rate which was deemed acceptable enough to get clinton reelected by a landslide. You are right, however, it's going to be very hard to get the rate lower, not so much for jobs going abroad but more for the high cost of US labor which includes skyrocketing health care premiums. We have a litigation-insurance problem in the US and no real solution proposed by either party or candidate to address it holistically. Thats where the problem is, i think. Mike

kumar: write and ask Kerry: What specifically have you done in the Senate for the last 20 years that would show me what accomplishments you have personally achieved in these areas of concern: What jobs have you created in the last 20 years? How have you done that? Have you supported less taxes for business so the business can grow? Please show me exactly when and where you did that. What have you done to lower costs for medical premiums for ALL people? What have you done to help the medical service providers to stay in business and provide their service at excellent levels AND at affordable prices.... Of course, there are more questions you can ask.... Kerry is in the Senate, and you know the laws are made in Congress. The President can only recommend proposals, but Congress has to decide them. So what has Kerry accomplished?
