Few
Americans would have voted for George W. Bush four years ago
if he had promised that, as President, he would:
Empty the Social Security trust fund by $507 billion to help
offset fiscal irresponsibility and at the same time slash
Social Security benefits. Cut Medicare by 17
percent and reduce veterans’ benefits and military
pay.
Eliminate overtime pay for millions of
Americans and raise oil prices by 50 percent. .
Give tax cuts to businesses that sent American jobs
overseas, and, in fact, by policy encourage their departure.
. Give away billions of tax dollars in
government contracts without competitive bids.
. Involve this country in a deadly and highly
questionable war, and. Take a budget surplus
and turn it into the worst deficit in the history of the
United States, creating a debt in just four years that will
take generations to repay. .These were elements of a
hidden agenda that surfaced only after he took office.
The
publishers of The Iconoclast endorsed Bush four years ago,
based on the things he promised, not on this smoke-screened
agenda.
Today, we are endorsing his opponent, John Kerry,
based not only on the things that Bush has delivered, but
also on the vision of a return to normality that Kerry says
our country needs.
