"President Bush and his administration have embarked on a reckless and extreme course that endangers the long-term economic health of our nation ... The differences between President Bush and John Kerry with respect to leadership on the economy are wider than in any other presidential election in our experience. President Bush believes that tax cuts benefiting the most wealthy Americans are the answer to almost every economic problem... Here, as elsewhere, Bush is dead wrong, and too dogmatic to admit it." --Joseph Stiglitz, professor of economics at Columbia University and Nobel prize winner
