Linda Lingle said that bush tax cut polices has helped the hawaiian economy. " My administration is just 21-months-old, but in that short time, because of President Bush's tax cuts and his pro-growth policies along with our team's commitment toward creating a more solid growth policy, Hawaii's economy has turned around dramatically," Lingle said. httpthehawaiichannel.com/news/3700297/detail.html://www.
This is lie Hawaii's number one source of income is tourism. The japanese are the tourist who spend the most money in hawaii. "The typical Canadian stays twice as long as the typical Japanese. But the typical Japanese spends twice as much per day.

Gov. Linda Lingle said Hawaii's economy has diversified and strengthened under President George W. Bush. She said it is "transforming the state into a true Land of Opportunity with an improved quality of life for all our citizens."
The Hawaii economy has allways been strong under both democratic and republican presidents. The Hawaii economy is attached more to the asian economy more than it is to the American economy. The japanese own the majority of the Hawaii hotels, and shoping malls, 7 out 10 bussiness are owned by people of japanese decent.

" Japanese companies in 2001 divested more than $678 million of commercial properties in Hawaii, more than half of the total number of commercial transactions in the state, according to a market report by Colliers Monroe Friedlander Inc.
As for lingle saying this about George Bush has improved the quality of life in Hawaii is another lie. Here is some local things that linda lingle has done to the state of Hawaii.
I don't see how linda lingle can say that the bush econonmic polices have improved Hawaii. when this happened. "The strong economy has not touched everyone equally," Lingle said next. "We have an exploding need for affordable housing." Hawaii has 6,000 homeless, the governor said. And 45 percent live on neighbor islands.
Gov. Linda Lingle is making line-item vetoes that will cut about $3.6 million from 20 social service programs around the state. The governor said yesterday that lack of money and the need to "restore fiscal discipline" affected her decision to make the line-item vetoes in Senate Bill 1305. Among the cuts are $400,000 in subsidies to the Kahuku Hospital, $500,000 for youth service centers in Kalihi — which the Lingle administration called illegal because it did not specify any recipients — and $450,000 for the Health Department to provide oral care to underserved children. Also cut was a $300,000 subsidy for the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children Sex Abuse Treatment Center; $200,000 for the operation of the Waipahu Community Adult Day Health Center and Youth Day Care Center pilot project; and $250,000 for Wahiawa General Hospital. Despite the cuts, Lingle left roughly $7.4 million for other programs, including $350,000 for Kahuku Hospital. http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2003/Jun/22/l n/ln01a.html" title="http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2003/Jun/22/l n/ln01a.html" target="_blank"http://the.honoluluadvertiser...
I don't see how lingle can claim that bush has impoved life in Hawaii, When she has cut health care for the people of Hawaii. Linda Lingle has also cut the libarary budget in the entire state of Hawaii. Why has she done this becuase lack of federal funds promised by Bush. I don't see how linda lingle can say these pro things about bush. When she her self has done this to Hawaii health care. Does she not that she lives on an island that is 2500 miles away from california. It should not be her self interest not to have and the majority of local poor hawaiians with nothing to lose mad her and the repulbicans. Its not like you can drive to another state if a uprising was occur in Hawaii.
The Hawaii industries have benifited from the bush tax cuts, Hawaii's major trading partners is not America but other countires Japan is number one trader of Hawaii made products.
In 2002, Hawaii exported $513.651 million worth of merchandise to 96 countries across the globe.
Leading export destinations were- Japan ($163.669 m), New Zealand ($97.887 m), Singapore, ($77.060 m), Australia ($54.750 m), South Korea ($22.504 m), Canada ($18.961 m), Taiwan ($16.961 m), Hong Kong ($8.658 m), China ($7.998 m), Malaysia ($6.749 m), Philippines ($4.899 m), Guatemala ($4.020 m), Germany ($3.857 m), Thailand ($3.642 m), Mexico ($2.870 m), France ($2.822 m), Netherlands ($2.796 m), Marshall Islands ($2.599 m), United Kingdom ($2.019 m), Maldives ($1.308 m), Italy ($1.268 m), Other countries ($6.354 m) . http://www.enterprisehonolulu.com/html/display.cfm?sid=106" title="http://www.enterprisehonolulu.com/html/display.cfm?sid=106" target="_blank"http://www.enterprisehonolulu...
Linda lingle also noted that tourists are traveling in record numbers because the president has made the skies and oceans safer for travel.
The tourist are traveling to Hawaii because of the increase global anti-american sentiment out in the world. Why would an American citzen want to travel to foregin country if the world is mad at america. So go the next the best thing come to Hawaii. Hawaii is the most isolated land mass in world. This is why the mainland tourist are comeing to Hawaii. Bush made the world mad at american so now americans are afraid of going to foreign coutnries. Becuase they dont want to get kidnaped and get there head cut off. As for sea travel those sea dogs won't be comeing back becuase of this
" HONOLULU -- Passengers on Hawaii's newest cruise ship are complaining of bad service and dirty conditions on board the Pride of Aloha. The cruise line offered small cash refunds and discounts on future cruises" http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/money/3682141/detail.html" title="http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/money/3682141/detail.html" target="_blank"http://www.thehawaiichannel.c... Don't think people are going to want to travel by ship if the conditions are terrible.
Deomcrats control the Hawaii legislature, Lingle is a repubican govenor, for Lingle to say that Hawaii's economy is good becuase of the Bush polices is a lie. Hawaii's economy has allways been good, regardless of what party sits in the white house. Hawaii economy is tied to the asian economy more than it is to the american economy.
