Kerry: Fiscal Conservative?
The Independent is reporting that John Kerry is due to deliver a "major speech" tomorrow detailing a plan calling for a return to the fiscal responsibility of the 1990s under the Clinton Administration.
Republican Senator John McCain has accused the Bush Administration of spending "like a drunken sailor."
The Kerry camp is betting that through a combination of selective mix of targeted taxation - as well as tax cuts to spur job growth - and warning of the dire consequences of uncontrolled deficit spending, that their message will resonate well with the electorate.
I think that this is a very reasonable position. How it will play with the average voter remains to be seen.
Read the article. Rupert Cornwell goes into depth like few American 'papers' do.
