Kerry and Democrats Attack Budget

Kerry's campaign accused Bush of planning budget cuts that would devastate programs for veterans, women, children and homeland security – and yet do little to reduce the nation's deficit.

The White House Office of Management and Budget said the documents were routine procedural guidelines so officials could start gathering data about their needs for 2006 spending and do not necessarily reflect the final budget blueprint.

The Kerry campaign and the Democratic National Committee planned events in more than 30 states this week to highlight the Bush budget documents. The campaign also planned veterans' events in all 50 states to draw attention to the budget plans.

Democrat's pitch is an obvious strategy to "buy" the Veterans' votes.

Also, did anyone see Kerry's suit today? It looked to be a fancy worsted; had to cost $2k- $3K. Would be a good idea to keep a running tote on the Kerry wardrobe on a daily basis -- the would-be man of the people wearing clothes of millionaires or, more accurately, the best that Teresa can provide for him.

Here we go again... no matter how much President Bush spends, the Democrats will NEVER be satisfied.

Most likely reductions in the rate of growth and not real cuts.

Wasn't there an article highlighting that the vet budget is lower because there are fewer of them around?

Show us what your budget would look like, John (wannabe President) Kerry. Let's see the numbers, in billions, and where they will go, from whence the billions will come, and who are the winners and who are the losers?

Talk is cheap, John, even talk that consists of long dull and seldom used words.

The Dems just can't find an issue that will stick. Rush was right, "just sit back, relax and enjoy watching them make a fool of themselves".
