Maine's Michaud faults GOP economic policy in radio speech

[MaineDem]

PORTLAND, Maine, Jan. 17 — The Bush administration lacks a connection with working Americans as shown by its policies, Rep. Michael Michaud said Saturday in the Democrats' weekly radio address.

Michaud pointed out a lack of job growth, President Bush's tax cuts and what he characterized as a flawed Medicare prescription drug plan.

"In the last week we have heard a lot about what Republicans plan to do in the name of the American people," Michaud said in his recorded remarks. '"But sometimes I wonder if anyone in this administration has actually met any of the people they claim to be working for — people like the hardworking, struggling families I represent in northern Maine."

Michaud used that experience to say he can relate with working Americans "who love their families, live up to their responsibilities, follow all the rules and still wake up one day without a job, without a pension, unable to pay for their health care or their children's college education."

1. I'm so proud!

My maiden name is Michaud and according to the genological research I've read, all Michauds in North America are related to one common ancestor who immigrated to what is now Canada in the mid-1600s. That makes him a distant cousin--GO CUZ!
