WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS September 20,2000 Bush Reloads and Aims for Middle Class Voters with "Blueprint" in Hopes of Turning the Tide by David Bartholomew Asst. Sports Editor George W. Bush is having a hard time. His head is spinning. He is losing ground to Vice President Gore on issues that are at the center of his message . First and foremost, George W. Bush can't understand why Al Gore is hitting home with the middle class, and why he is striking out. The Republican National Convention was all about ending class warfare. It's too bad for them the Democratic National Convention was all about starting it back up again. Bush's tax cut would mean greater tax savings for many of the nation's middle class. Bush has defined this group as hard-working Americans. The Governor's task is to convince this group his proposals will help more than the Vice President's. Yesterday, Governor Bush released his "Blueprint for the Middle Class." The document, which can be found on his web site (www.georgewbush.com), details the benefits of his policies for middle-income Americans. "My plans help real Americans at every stage of their lives," Bush commented. "I have a plan to improve education, lower taxes, strengthen Social Security, and provide health-care." Bush plans to take the blueprint on the road as he visits pivotal battleground states prior to the October debates. George W. Bush holds a commanding lead in 17 states, however only three of them have more then ten electoral votes. Six other states lean the governor's way. This would leave Bush with 201 electoral votes and require him to win 69 more electoral votes. Bush has identified the key states that he must gain ground in and has begun to campaign hard. Michigan, Missouri, and Georgia are all states in which Bush must turn things around. Bush does realize his task is hard and that he will no longer be able to rely on "honor and dignity". Here is a look at some more specific aspects of the governor's "Blueprint for the Middle Class": Education Bush plans to strengthen accountability and restore local control to states and counties. The Governor hopes to empower parents with information and options. He hopes to require school- by-school report cards and to improve teacher quality by providing $2.4 billion to recruit and train quality teachers. Bush has accused Gore of having no way to measure school and student performance. This is an issue Bush must make a plus for his campaign. Health Healthcare has been a boon for Bush, as the Vice President's plan has received more credit with the swing voters. In the blueprint, Bush hopes to modernize Medicare and ensure seniors never pay more then $6000 a yearfor Medicare. The Governor says the Gore campaign offers seniors no choices and that it forces seniors into HMO's. Social Security Bush wants to "lock box" Social Security surpluses and require the money be spent only for Social Security. Bush also wants no new Social Security taxes. Bush challenges that Al Gore's proposal will result in drastic tax increases. Taxes This issue frustrates the governor the most. Bush's plan is to "provide middle class families pay for today's bills and save for tomorrow." Democrats have attacked the plan as benefiting only the rich. President Clinton has vetoed plans similar to Bush's. Bush believes that his tax plan will work for more Americans. He has yet to convince many swing voters. It is these issues that Bush must change perceptions and gain ground with. The next two weeks will be instrumental in the governor's bid to be elected President. If he can-convince middle-income families of his policies, he may be able to come back. HliMnMil use* liniiiiny FUNDS TRUST "Wliy is TIAA-CREF ^ 4=t\ choice nationwide? 'The TIAA-CREF Advantage.
