Hey, he's got a plan!
Clark Lays Out Economic Plan For Presidency
Retired Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark offered the first domestic plan of his young presidential campaign yesterday, calling for a reduction of the Bush tax cuts for households earning more than $200,000 to pay for new spending on homeland security, state governments and job-creation programs.
….
Clark said households earning $200,000 or more should forfeit some of their scheduled tax cuts and direct that “money to three job-creating funds”: to create jobs for firefighters, customs officials and others tasked with defending the homeland; to help state and local governments meet education, health care and other financial needs; and to provide tax incentives to businesses that hire new employees in 2004 or 2005. Clark said his plan, which draws heavily on ideas offered by other candidates, would cost $100 billion.
Sounds reasonable enough. Maybe not as far as I’d to see it go (I like some of the other candidates’ idea of repealing all of it), but it’s a reasonable idea. More than we can say about certain people in charge.
