Yahoo! News - Kerry: Bush Plan Will Cost $6 Trillion
BOSTON - Trying to reverse partisan stereotypes, Democrat John Kerry is launching a campaign to portray himself as a fiscal conservative, comparing his economic strategy with the $6 trillion in unpaid spending that he says President Bush has proposed over the next 10 years.

For weeks, Bush's campaign has been saying Kerry would raise taxes $900 billion over 10 years. Kerry is striking back with a report to be released Monday that says the president would increase the deficit with his unfunded spending proposals and tax cuts.

"We intend to run to President Bush's right on this," said Roger Altman, who was deputy treasury secretary under President Clinton and is advising Kerry's campaign.

HAHAHA! You heard it here first.

From March 5th on this very blog-

"I think a delicious strategy would be to hit George from the right, use these numbers and promise a more fiscally conservative government."
