Kerry and Bush Pt. 759
Reuters is reporting that John Kerry railed against Bush's lack of concern..think VA health benefits.
I admit it. I don't know if Bush has a newer proposal than the last round of egregious cuts to veterans benefits.
I can't find the line items in that omnibus monster we call the U.S. Budget. In looking at the 'highlights' of Bush's fiscal year 2005 budget. It calls for an "over 40% larger than when he took office." No figures are given, and that makes the skeptic in me, well skeptical.
Kerry cites a lot of numbers. But as we've seen from both parties, this isn't 'hard math.' lots of cherrypicked data, and glaring ommissions of things that don't support a campaigner's message. This is true of both sides.
I can recommend looking into the Kerry article. There are some fun quotes by a number of vets, and of course Bush has done the unthinkable against our troops. He sent them off to fight, kill and die in a war based on lies.
Here is the article.
Kerry just needs to stop from imploding at this point in order to make this at least a close race.

Bush on the fire.
At issue is a Bush ad claiming 'dramatic results' from his Texas school 'reforms'(that word again...who's picking my pocket?). Bush paints a bright picture but fails to mention that the Texas efficacy claims were plagued by 'educational book-cooking' in order to make the grade. Pun intended.
It is far from clear whether Bush's Texas reforms - on which the National No Child Left Behind Act is based - did anything positive whatever for Texas schools.
