Washington, D.C. – With Jeb Bush’s upcoming announcement that he is running for president, DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement:<\/p>\n
“Jeb Bush’s announcement later today that he’ll seek the Republican 2016 nomination is good news if you happen to be Jeb Bush or someone like him. Throughout his career, Jeb Bush has consistently put what is best for himself and those at the top above the priorities of working Americans.<\/p>\n
“As governor of Florida, Jeb Bush slashed taxes by billions, largely benefitting the wealthy and corporations. Since leaving public office more than eight years ago, Bush has leveraged his family name to reap profits for himself, immersing himself in problematic corporate business deals and cashing in on Wall Street while Americans were hit by the financial crisis.<\/p>\n
“We already know what to expect from a Bush Presidency, because we’ve seen it before. Jeb Bush supported his brother’s disastrous economic and foreign policies that made us weaker at home and abroad. He supported his brother’s plan to privatize Social Security and endorsed a budget that would end Medicare as we know it.<\/p>\n
“But what makes the specter of a Jeb Bush presidency even more unpalatable is his belief in his own superiority and infallibility – in my 22 years in elected office I have never worked with someone who is as inflexible, uncompromising, and willing to do whatever it takes to get their way as Jeb Bush. These are not the qualities Americans need in their president if we are going to work together to get things done.<\/p>\n
“On issue after issue, Jeb Bush’s indifference toward the concerns of the middle class, women, students, immigrants, seniors and the LGBT community shows he is as out of step with the American people as every other candidate in the Republican field.”<\/p>\n
Washington, D.C. – Debbie Wasserman Schultz, presidenta del DNC, emitió las siguientes declaraciones sobre el anuncio de Jeb Bush:<\/p>\n
“El anuncio que Jeb Bush hará hoy presentando su candidatura al nombramiento republicano para 2016 son buenas noticias si resulta que eres Jeb Bush o alguien como él. A lo largo de su carrera, Jeb Bush ha puesto lo que es mejor para él y los de arriba muy por encima de las prioridades de los trabajadores americanos.<\/p>\n
“Como gobernador de Florida, Jeb Bush cercenó impuestos por miles de millones, beneficiando sobremanera a los ricos y a las corporaciones. Desde que abandonó los puestos públicos hace ocho años, Bush ha aprovechado su apellido para cosechar beneficios para si mismo, sumergiéndose en problemáticos negocios corporativos y haciendo caja en Wall Street mientras los americanos y americanas eran golpeados por la crisis financiera.<\/p>\n
“Ya sabemos lo que esperar de una presidencia Bush, porque la hemos visto antes. Jeb Bush apoyó las desastrosas políticas exterior y económica de su hermano que nos debilitaron en casa y fuera. Apoyó el plan de su hermano para privatizar el Seguro Social y respaldó un presupuesto que acabaría con el Medicare tal y como lo conocemos.<\/p>\n
“Pero lo que resulta todavía más desagradable del espectro de una presidencia de Jeb Bush es su creencia en su propia superioridad e infalibilidad – en mis 22 años en puestos público nunca he trabajado con alguien tan inflexible, intransigente y convencido de hacer lo que haga falta para salirse con la suya como Jeb Bush. Estas no son las cualidades que los americanos y americanas necesitan en su presidente si vamos a trabajar juntos para que las cosas funcionen.<\/p>\n
“En un tema tras otro, la indiferencia de Jeb Bush hacia las preocupaciones de la clase media, las mujeres, los estudiantes, los inmigrantes, las personas mayores y la comunidad LGBT muestra lo desfasado que está respecto al pueblo americano, como también lo están el resto de candidatos en el campo republicano.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
