"President Bush's failure to offer leadership on the economy has had devastating consequences in this country. A recently released USDA study shows that since Bush took office, the number of families suffering from hunger has increased an alarming 13% to nearly 3.8 million families. Moreover, approximately 34.6 million Americans are living below the poverty line. Despite this evidence, Bush has offered tax cuts for our wealthiest citizens. That is not leadership. We need a President who will make the right choices for all Americans, not just the wealthy."
