Bush now using Treasury Dept for campaigning

[LDS Jock]

WASHINGTON - The Treasury Department (news - web sites) issued a batch of tax-related press releases Friday that each carried a message saying America has a choice between growing the economy and raising taxes that could hurt the recovery.

Democrats immediately denounced the action as an improper use of government resources to subsidize political propaganda.

While the sentiment is a long held position of the Bush administration, it was the first time the department included this message in dark type at the bottom of some its news releases, said Treasury Department spokesman Rob Nichols.


"America has a choice: It can continue to grow the economy and create new jobs as the president's policies are doing; or it can raise taxes on American families and small businesses, hurting economic recovery and future job creation," the message on the releases said.

Shouldn't this be illegal, having a Federal Department do your campaigning for you with official reports?

1. Hi , ldsjocktx,

Special Rule-
It's legal if Bush does it but if Clinton did it, it would be an impeachable offense.

about your sig line- bush is screwing the entire planet!

Which is worse? Screwing an intern or screwing the country???

of course screwing an intern is worse but only if a democrat is involved!

Heard the following:
when we had our last elected president-
the president got screwed & the country prospered,
now the opposite is true!
:)
