"The failure of corporate profits to rise and the consequent loss of expected corporate tax collections has caused a substantial change in the budget picture." Kennedy said.
The Democratic presidential candidate said the $2 billion "loss of budgeted revenue would have fully financed the Democratic program of federal aid to education, the Democratic housing program and the democratic program for area redevelopment."
