Clark Calls on Bush to Help Unemployed Before Giving Big Tax Breaks to Business

"Leadership is about doing what's right for American families, not giving corporate tax breaks to big businesses that ship jobs overseas. I am deeply disturbed the Bush administration would favor an irresponsible $60 billion corporate tax giveaway while more than 3 million Americans have lost their jobs. Millions more are without health care and the budget deficit continues to spiral out of control.

As President, I would direct our resources towards our most urgent priorities - the economy, health care and our national defense - instead of rewarding corporations for sending American jobs overseas. America is suffering from a leadership deficit under George W. Bush. To get our country back on track, we need a leader that makes the right choices for America."

"Under George W. Bush, America's top export has been its jobs." on the today show.

He was the first one that I heard even mention that high tech jobs were being exported. This was before he even declared. The others were talking about manufacturing jobs exclusively at that point, and the solutions they were offering only applied to manufacturing. Clark seemed to be aware that other sectors were affected as well and that a multi-faceted solution was going to be necessary.
