For full editorial see…
Few Americans would have voted for George W. Bush four years ago if he had promised that, as President, he would:
Empty the Social Security trust fund by $507 billion to help offset fiscal irresponsibility and at the same time slash
Social Security benefits.
Cut Medicare by 17 percent and reduce veterans’ benefits and military pay.
Eliminate overtime pay for millions of Americans and raise oil prices by 50 percent. .
Give tax cuts to businesses that sent American jobs overseas, and, in fact, by policy encourage their departure. .
Give away billions of tax dollars in government contracts without competitive bids. .
Involve this country in a deadly and highly questionable war, and.
Take a budget surplus and turn it into the worst deficit in the history of the United States, creating a debt in just
four years that will take generations to repay. .
These were elements of a hidden agenda that surfaced only after he took office.
The publishers of The Iconoclast endorsed Bush four years ago, based on the things he promised, not on this
smoke-screened agenda.
Today, we are endorsing his opponent, John Kerry, based not only on the things that Bush has delivered, but also on the
vision of a return to normality that Kerry says our country needs.
