Dean on GOP's Misplaced Budget Priorities

Washington, DC - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the
following statement on the passage of the GOP's immoral budget plan that cuts
vital programs, while giving another tax break to the wealthiest Americans and
further increasing the Bush deficit:

"The Vice President's itinerary says a lot about this Administration's
misplaced priorities. Vice President Cheney cut short his overseas trip to cast
the tie-breaking vote on a bill that cut funding for student loans and
Medicaid. In addition, the bill gives more tax cuts to millionaires, while
increasing the enormous Bush budget deficit and heaping more debt onto our
children.

"This immoral Republican budget ignores the growing challenges of millions of
hard-working Americans who are struggling with increased burdens like rising
education costs, health care and energy costs. Americans deserve better.
Democrats will continue to fight for common-sense proposals that reduce the
deficit and improve the lives of all Americans."
