Bush runs on tax cuts and fiscal discipline

Bush is running on his promise to cut taxes still more and fiscal discipline and the media doesn't even flinch. He contrasts that with Kerry admitting he would raise taxes. Bush lost America over 5 billion dollars and has bankrupt us. How does he get away with this as a campaign slogan?

1. Remarkable.

Tax cuts that weren't really tax cuts for the majority and no fiscal discipline as far as the eye can see.

Remarkable.

They nibble at us with cheap labor while we go in debt by the HUNDREDS of BILLION$$$. They are in a POSITIVE CASH FLOW and we in a NEG CASH FLOW.. We are in DEBT 7 TRILLION and counting....with no end in sight... Bush and Co don't seem to care as they don't think these things matter....and yet it does. Just look at our lives...are we better off than 5 years ago??

500 billion..but remember we had over 200 billion in the black projected for the next years when bush took over---so you take that loss of 200b then add it to the 4-5 billion now...that`s a lot of money...no wonder no one wants to talk about that....

Kerry: "you talk about fiscal discipline, but you spent our country into record deficits!"

Bush: "See, there's a war on terra, and it's not like other wars. Cause see, it's on terra. And saddam is no longer king of the raqis."
