GREENSBORO, N.C., Sept. 7 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Sen. John Kerry released the following statement today:

"Only George W. Bush could celebrate over a record budget deficit of $422 billion, a loss of 1.6 million jobs, and Medicare premiums that are up by a record 17 percent. Last week the Bush administration said outsourcing was good, yesterday George Bush said the economy was great, and today George Bush is celebrating a record budget deficit. W. stands for wrong, the wrong direction for America. I have a plan to restore fiscal discipline, rein in out of control spending, and cut the deficit in half in four years."

5. I think this is a hot issue for Kerry - worth about 5 points in the polls.

If he continues to push it, it will benefit him politically, in my opinion.
