From this morning’s Times, an article entitled, “The Issues: Bush Aide Sees $1 Trillion Gap in Kerry’s Plans”
Mr. Mehlman said Republicans would spend this week aggressively seeking to define Mr. Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, as economically irresponsible.
Do these guys ever look in a mirror? Do they even own a mirror? A huge surplus turned into deficits as far as the eye can see, deliberate lies about the costs of the Medicare “reform” program, budgets which conveniently assume zero costs for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and they want to paint Kerry as “economically irresponsible”? Luckily, the presumed nominee isn’t taking Bush’s lies lying down:
“George Bush has been the steward of the worst economy since the Great Depression, and now he is hypocritically criticizing John Kerry for his efforts to put the nation back on track,” Stephanie Cutter, Mr. Kerry’s spokeswoman, said in a statement. “His fiscal recklessness and overspending have wasted $10 trillion dollars, putting the nation into record deficits, forcing states to raise tuition and taxes, and leaving future generations with higher costs and debts for decades to come.”
