WATERLOO, IA—Dean issued the following statement regarding President Bush’s economic statements today:
“President Bush may be calling his advisors to an economic summit today, but three years of his reckless fiscal leadership have led the country into an economic valley.
“Why is the President talking to advisors on his ranch, rather than ordinary Americans in their living rooms, diners and union halls? Off the ranch, he'd get an earful from parents working two jobs to make ends meet--if they're lucky enough to still have jobs. He'd have to answer to the three million newly unemployed and the millions more who've had to take new jobs earning less than they did before. He'd have to listen to the concerns of parents worried about putting their kids through school, affording health care for their families, of having enough in savings to support their retirement.
“Down in the valley of America's economy today, people are suffering--and an economic policy of tax cuts aimed at those who don't need it and trillions in debt for our children to pay off offers little hope to working Americans and no solution to our long-term problems.
“Only by investing in programs to create jobs, providing health care to all Americans and putting our economic house in order can we truly lead the country back to the summit.”http://blog.deanforamerica.com/archives/001038.html
