On the Bright Side Detecting Deception CNN's Brooks Jackson was first out of the gate to critique the presidential candidates in their ads and speeches. On the April 1 Inside Politics he critiqued Republican charges that Clinton judges were soft on crime. But in a surprising turn Jackson has also slammed Clinton's newest set of ads. But Dole is voting no. The President cuts taxes for 40 million Americans.
Dole votes no.
True, Clinton's latest budget would balance in 7 years on paper, but experts are skeptical. Jackson countered they also raised taxes on 1.5 million high-income families and 5 million Social Security recipients, not to mention higher gas taxes for everyone. Another ad claimed Republicans cut school lunches. And the Agriculture Department says it has increased the number of children served. But Republican leaders have agreed to a one percent increase once a permanent appropriations bill is passed.
