U.S. Newswire

American families are being increasingly squeezed as inflation- adjusted wages fall and costs for kitchen table items like health care and energy continue to soar. Although inflation is volatile from month to month, over the last year the trend is clear.

Kerry campaign spokesperson Phil Singer said: "While President Bush likes to talk about getting the job done, today's report is further evidence Bush is doing a job on America's families. They are falling further and further behind, as families struggle to make ends meet when real wages are falling. President Bush seems to think the answer is to put more of the tax burden on the middle class and impose a massive new sales tax on them. John Kerry and John Edwards have a real plan to get the economy going, end the middle class squeeze, and make America stronger at home and safer abroad." ..

1. Bush is forcing the debate to become one of class and wealth

it is clearly becoming class/caste warfare, with the gap widening between those who can provide for their families and those who are desperately trying to keep up.

3. "Its the economy, stupid" like father like son

sadly, so many people who bought all the lies of the Bush administration from the beginning, are now losing their jobs , homes, and everything else...sadly, it took this to wake many of them up...
The most horrific loss, however, is the children who were murdered in cold blood by Bush, our soldiers, and the civilians in Iraq..
Wake up America..wake up to Bushworld..where you are only a paycheck away from living in the streets, where your children are having their guys blown out in an illegal war based on lies.
