I want every American who is willing to work for it to be able to get the American dream.

Education and welfare reform are about bringing all Americans to the starting line of the economy, then making sure all of them are ready to run the race.

I look forward to working with congressional leaders to pass a balanced budget

My budget reaches balance in 2002 the right way—cutting unnecessary and lower-priority spending while protecting our values.

I am proposing a balanced budget.

With strong growth, low interest rates, low inflation, millions more jobs, record exports, more savings and investment, and higher incomes, the Nation is enjoying what such experts as Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve…

It will keep interest rates low, allowing our people to start new businesses, buy a home or a new car.

This has been a good 4 years for America.

Our economy is the strongest it's been in 30 years.

I also want to emphasize that microenterprise must be part of a larger strategy to help every American make the most of his or her own life.

You can grow the economy, protect the environment; you can balance the budget and invest in education; you can be strong at home and be strong abroad.

I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to continue previously proclaimed duty treatment for the affected goods and to make technical corrections in certain HTS provisions.

We protected a strong and growing market for American products that supports 700,000 jobs here.

Today the United States is being repaid more than 3 years ahead of schedule.

Those efforts and the stronger economy have led to the biggest reduction in welfare rolls in the history of this country.

I want to report some good economic news.

It is a great tribute to the private sector in America.

America needs these tax cuts to help America pay for college, and I hope Congress will help us to pass them into law.
