Wes Clark’s Vision For America

• A four-step program to clean up George Bush’s mess in Iraq, so we can get back to the important priorities facing our nation.

• A plan to create jobs through a Homeland and Economic Security Fund, returning money to state and local governments, and incentives for businesses to create jobs here at home—paid for by rolling back the Bush tax breaks for those at the top.

• A common-sense plan to expand health coverage to all children and make affordable health insurance available to those who do not have it.

• A fiscal program to reduce the exploding federal budget deficit, so we do not pass on an ever-increasing burden of debt to the next generation.
