>
> The New York Times Editorial Board today confirmed a point about
> George W. Bush's Social Security plan that Al Gore has been making
> throughout the week. Bush's plan to divert $1 trillion of the trust
> fund into private accounts would force benefit cuts, tax increases
> or borrowing outside of the system to prevent bankruptcy.
>
> "For the next few years, Social Security will run huge surpluses,
> providing enough money to create private accounts and to pay retirees.
> But those surpluses are temporary, and eventually Mr. Bush must
> find dollars to serve both purposes. Indeed, to make his program
> work he will be forced to cut benefits well below current guarantees,
> raise taxes or borrow, an issue he refuses to confront," wrote the Times.

> 2.  Newspapers Endorse Al Gore - Cite "Gravitas,"
>     Responsible Policies, Experience
>
> Newspapers across the country have begun to endorse Al Gore for
president.
> Today, the Atlanta Constitution's endorsement cited Gore's "gravitas" and
> his performance in the three presidential debates. Today's Detroit Free
Press
> endorsement praised Gore's plans to pay down the national debt, pass a
> real Patients' Bill of Rights and provide a prescription drug benefit.
> In West Virginia, The Charleston Gazette discussed Gore's experience
> and his "deep familiarity...with topics a leader must know."
>
> ATLANTA: GORE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
> "On these and other issues, Gore is prepared to change government policy
> to reflect the needs and opinions of 21st century America. The Bush team,
> by contrast, is either denying the reality of those changes or advocating
> an outright retreat, a bridge back to the 20th century, so to speak."

> DETROIT: GORE CHARTS A MORE PRUDENT COURSE
> "On key issues, Gore charts a more prudent course, including use of
> the federal budget surplus to pay down the national debt rather than
> provide an across-the-board tax cut." [Detroit Free Press, 10/20/00]

> CHARLESTON, WV: GORE HAS EXPERIENCE AND STATURE
> "Finally, there's the crucial factor of experience and stature. Gore
> has served many years in the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate
> and the White House. He has deep familiarity with government programs,
> foreign affairs and other topics a leader must know. In contrast,
> Bush had a modest role in Texas businesses arranged by his father's
> oil-industry friends, then was elected governor - but in Texas, that
> office has limited power." [Charleston Gazette, 10/10/00]

> 3.  Bush Gets It Wrong On Social Security- Again
>
> During a live interview on national television yesterday, George W. Bush
> misstated again the details of his Social Security plan. Below follows
> the Bush rhetoric from yesterday's interview and the reality:
>
> RHETORIC: "For the next 15 years, the cash flow exceeds what is needed.
> There's $2.4 trillion additional dollars beyond that which seniors are
> going to get paid. And so the trillion dollars comes out of the surplus."
> [Bush on CNBC, 10/19/00]
>
> REALITY: Under the Bush plan, the cash flow will exceed benefit payments
> to seniors in 2005 -- five years from now. This is because Bush would
> drain one-sixth of payroll taxes -- $1 trillion over the next decade.
> After that Governor Bush will need to begin drawing down on the
> Social Security trust fund and its interest -- bankrupting Social
Security
> by 2023. [Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, 5/15/00]

> 4.  Lieberman Highlights Economic Prosperity of Past Eight Years
>
> During a visit to a successful online company in Pittsburgh, Joe
Lieberman
> highlighted today the prosperity and innovation of the past eight years
and
> the distinct economic choice Americans will make in this election. The
> Gore-Lieberman economic policies would seize this unique moment to extend
our
> prosperity and share it widely, whereas the Bush-Cheney ticket would
lavish
> more on those who need it least.
>
> "Will we make the right choices and the right investments to keep our
> economy growing, or will we bust the budget and shortchange the future
for
> a massive tax cut for the few?" Lieberman asked. "Al Gore and I have a
> comprehensive agenda - from balancing the budget and paying down the debt
> to investing in priorities like education - that will maintain our
prosperity
> and allow the new technology community to continue to flourish."

President

> On Thursday, George W. Bush made an appearance on the David Letterman
> show and read his list of the top 10 ways the White House would change if
> he were elected president. In the interest of balanced reporting, the
Gore
> campaign offered its own list of "changes" voters can expect if Governor
Bush
> is elected.

>
> 10) The administration that "looks like America" is replaced by the
>     administration that "looks like 1990."
>
> 9)  Bridge to the 21st Century dismantled to make room for oil derricks
>
> 8)  Replace Council of Economic Advisers with Cadre of Fuzzy
Mathematicians
>
> 7)  Rose Garden to be kept beautiful by the chemical industry
>
> 6)  Secret diplomatic packages disguised as GAP pants
>
> 5)  State Dinners become State Lunches so as not to interfere with
bedtime
>
> 4)  Replace West Wing with right wing
>
> 3)  Outlaw "Washington" terms like "insurance," "health care,"
>     "solvency," "economic growth," "clean water," and "campaign finance
reform."
>
> 2)  Install cubicle in the Oval Office so Charlton Heston can have "some
personal space."
>
> 1)  There is no number one. Under Governor Bush's tax plan, only the
>     wealthiest 1 percent can afford a full Top 10 list.
