He's really needs to watch the news...

He's too busy trying to BE the news.

More federal money for healthcare and education. That's something new, eh John?

I know. This guy is clueless. W signed (unfortunately) two huge spending bills last year in these two areas.

When JF'inK says the Federal government must do something he means that taxpayers from around the country should partially pay for this Massachusetts project.

Effin is a sixties retread having a psychedelic flashback from his glory days with Hanoi Jane and all of the other maggot-infested protesters.

Yep. No one will ever be able to accuse Bill Clinton of having any class. From sexual harassment of subordinates (Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Juanita Brodderick, et al) to selling just about anything (the Lincoln Bedroom, US missile guidance technology to the Chinese, pardons at the end of his second term) for campaign contributions---there are pigs out in the vilest sty who have more class.

"But Kerry said the federal government must do its part to help businesses overcome obstacles to competing in the global economy - such as rising healthcare and energy costs, and lagging investments in education and research and development.

Kerry laid out what he called a ‘‘three-pronged competitiveness challenge’’ facing the nation’s economy - energy, education and incentives for business growth.

Kerry called for focusing on new technologies and alternative fuels to reduce the nation’s oil dependence and create new jobs. His proposal includes tax incentives for automakers to produce more fuel-efficient cars and for consumers to buy them, and developing energy alternatives such as bio-fuels and wind energy.

‘‘You just heard the president give a speech in the State of the Union message and he talked about how America is addicted to oil,’’ Kerry said. ‘‘Mr. President, the nation is not addicted to oil, your administration is addicted to oil.’’

On education and business competitiveness, Kerry called for using the same money that goes for tax cuts to instead be used to improve schooling and for new investments in research and development.

‘‘We are going ahead, like it or not, with a tax cut for the wealthiest people in America yet again,’’ Kerry said. ‘‘We’re spending billions exporting democracy to other parts of the world, we need to make our own democracy work a little better right here at home.’’ "

There is so much there that is wrong, I'm not sure where to begin.

The federal government should get out of business and let the market run it. The federal government ruins whatever it touches. It's not in the Constitution for the government to do anything that this imbecile is proposing.

At least he didn't call it a plan this time. Instead he's now calling it a "challenge" which is humorous considering that Kerry is challenged in so many ways.

Kerry is a day late and a dollar short on the alternative fuels considering President Bush has been pushing that for years. Kerry is a just johnny come lately.

The administration is addicted to oil? Didn't know the administration used all those billions of barrels of oil. Not only is Kerry challenged, so are his handlers and speech writers.

More money for education? Mr. Kerry, how many trillions has the US government poured into the bottomless pit that is public education? Is that his answer to everything? Pour more money into it? I realize that is how he lives his life, spending his wife's money, but damn, leave mine alone ya a**hat.

I'm guessing he doesn't know that the federal revenues are up due to those evil tax cuts. Where does he suppose those 260+ extra billion dollars came from? He still doesn't get it, cut taxes and somehow more money comes into the federal coffers to get wasted by idiots like himself.

When will they learn?

Do I detect a new Dem tag line?

Slow to respond!

They can use it for Katrina, Cheney or anything else that comes along.

The more these two socialists and Quislings speak, the better 2006 will look for the Congressional races.
