To the Editor:

For the first time in memory, I must say that I completely agree with Vice President Dick Cheney. He is absolutely right about something he said recently.Cheney recently stated on NBC's "Meet the Press" that "If Democratic policies had been pursued over the last two-to-three years, the kind of tax-increases both Kerry and Edwards are talking about, we would not have had the kind of job growth that we've had."That is a quote from the second highest elected official in this country.Since the Bush administration assumed power, 2.3 million jobs have been lost.Furthermore, the policies pursued by Kerry are repeals of the Bush tax cuts to Clinton-era levels, when well-paying jobs were plentiful, and are not really tax increases at all.Dick Cheney should be a carpenter. This comment will no doubt add a nail to the Bush administration's coffin.Matthew HoilandBloomington, MN
