Democratic Governors Group Criticizes Bush on Economy
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGABOONQ6ID.html

CHICAGO (AP) - The national Democratic Governors' Association on Tuesday criticized the Bush administration's economic policy, saying tax breaks alone won't improve the economy.


"President Bush's reliance on tax cuts is somewhat akin to giving Sammy Sosa a whiffle ball bat and asking him to hit a Roger Clemens fast ball. It just isn't going to work. It looks like it's going to work, but it's not," Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack said.

The association urged Congress to reconsider a plan proposed in January by Democratic governors that would invest money in infrastructure and highway improvements to create jobs. snip

"It's not about tax cuts for the wealthy. It's really about putting people to work, building a stronger American economy," Vilsack said.
