President Bushs Growth Proposals Will Spur Consumer Spending, Promote Small Businesses, Increase Consumer Confidence And Extend Unemployment Assistance. Central elements of the Presidents proposal include: 1. Accelerating the 2001 tax cuts to increase the pace of the economic recovery and job creation; 2. Promoting investment by individuals and businesses that will lead to economic growth and job creation; and 3. Delivering critical help to unemployed citizens. (President George W. Bush, Remarks To The Economic Club Of Chicago, January 7, 2003; Taking Action To Strengthen Americas Economy, The White House, January 7, 2003)

Senators Kerry And Baucus At Odds With Fellow Democrats Over Ending The Double Taxation Of Dividends. While Kerry has endorsed the measure and Finance Committee Ranking Member Baucus is open to ending double taxation of dividends, Senators Daschle, Lieberman, Edwards & Reid all oppose the proposal. (Senator John Kerry, Remarks To The City Club Of Cleveland, December 3, 2002; Jonathan Weisman, Senior Hill Democrat Offers Tax-Cut Plan, The Washington Post, December 20, 2002; Senator Tom Daschle, Democratic Response To The Presidents Weekly Radio Address, January 4, 2003; Senator Joe Lieberman, Press Release, January 7, 2003; Senator John Edwards, ABCs This Week, January 5, 2003; Senator Harry Reid, NBC's Meet The Press, January 5, 2003)
Democrats Have Advanced Competing Proposals For Encouraging Growth Among Small Businesses. While Senator Lieberman proposes an information technology investment tax credit, Senator Kerry advocates a $250,000 small business tax deferral. Senator Edwards wants to increase by 50% the current investment depreciation bonus while Gephardt calls for a one-time tax incentive for company investments. Still, House Democrats propose doubling the total amount small businesses may expense for new investments made in 2003.

(Senator John Kerry, Remarks To The City Club Of Cleveland, December 3, 2002; Senator Joe Lieberman, Remarks At NASDAQ MarketSite, October 18, 2002; House Democratic Economic Stimulus Plan, January 6, 2003)
