Bobert - it is hard to answer that without bringing up Bush mainly because Bush has done such a terrible job.   

Our economy sucks under Bush.

Bush has created fewer jobs than any other president since Herbert Hoover. Under Bush we have lost 2.7 million jobs, many of them outsource overseas. Kerry has proposed tax cut incentives to companies that create jobs here instead of giving tax cuts to companies that send jobs overseas.

Kerry will return the overtime that Bush just recently cut that effects 6 million Americans. We should have the right to overtime pay after 40 hours.

Kerry has a healthcare plan that will lower premiums by $1000 per year for most Americans. His healthcare plan would cut waste from the system and lower prescription drug prices.    Kerry's plan would extend healthcare to 95% of the American public, and that includes children.

Kerry's plans for education include a college opportunity tax credit on up to $4000 for college tuition every year.

Kerry's plans would be funded by cutting the corporate tax cuts that have only helped the wealthiest in our nation.

Under Bush, our nations record surplus has turned into a huge deficit that our children will end up paying if it isn't stopped. Bill Clinton was able to make the economy prosper, and Kerry's plan could do the same.

Bobert, Kerry IS talking about these issues and many more. The problem is that the issue of Vietnam has been taking all the headlines. This issue was brought up by the same people that gave us Willie Horton, Lee Atwater's "push polls", attacks on John McCain, Monica's stained dress, and so many other dirty tricks.   Anything to turn the public opinion away from the real issues. People like you Bobert do not even realize that Kerry has plans.   That is why it is so important to get Bush out of office.
