When it comes to the economy, President George Bush and Democratic candidate John Kerry have strongly opposing viewpoints. President George Bush's economic slogan is that "the economy is strong and getting stronger." This frequent phrase has been dished out on the
Campaign trail numerous times as the White House believes there is strong improvement in the economy. However, John Kerry believes otherwise. Rather bluntly, he has criticized the president and has said repeatedly, "The president wants you to re-elect him, for what? Losing jobs?” To evaluate who can be the better candidate in terms of the economy, let us look at President Bush’s record and Kerry’s plan to move the economy forward.
In recent months, one of President BushÂ’s campaign slogans seems to be dead on target. In August, the Labor Department reported that 144,000 were added to the economy. Besides the creation of jobs during that month, the Labor Department revised their June and July job numbers by increasing the number of jobs added by more than 60,000. To add to the positive performance, the U. S. economy gained 1.7 million jobs in the past year, making a case that job growth is healthy and steady. Looking at the U. S. unemployment rate, it is lower then the average rate of unemployment in the past three decades, falling to 5.4 percent in the month of August.
President BushÂ’s agenda for the next four years includes trying to create jobs for the 21st Century that will help educate Americans. The president will provide $500 million in funding to train high-skilled workers in schools. In addition he plans to vigorously fight the tax code to enable people to save and invest. Finally, the president plans to create Opportunity Zones, which will help out communities suffering from economic hardship.
However, John Kerry and his running mate Senator John Edwards, have tried to spin the administrationÂ’s success. Trying to cast a negative image of the presidentÂ’s roll on the economy, the candidates were quick to indicate that this was evidence of BushÂ’s record of failure and promises that were never fulfilled.
