Economy

It's hard for any of us to grow unless the overall world economy is growing.

We discussed today the recent enactment of NAFTA and its potential as a building block for free trade.

It will create thousands and thousands of jobs in the years ahead all across our Nation.

We need more customers around the world; that's why trade's so important.

That's why we just passed the North American Free Trade Agreement.

These grants... you will look back on this and say this is the best money we ever spent.

Unemployment is down, and jobs are up.

We have to revolutionize our approach to unemployed people.

We've launched our country's first national export strategy.

Together we can turn this economy around and get things going again for California and for the entire country.

For American families, this is a signal that we value work over welfare.

I am convinced that this economy can recover for four reasons.

Our economic plan has brought the deficit down.

You betcha, I want to sell more to Mexico and the rest of Latin America.

We are spending a much bigger percentage of our income on health care than any other country in the world, and yet we are the only major country who doesn't provide everybody health care coverage that is always there.

America has been working harder for less.

Efficient, high-quality production using a skilled, well-equipped work force will put American products on shelves throughout the world.

They will work hard to ensure that the American people's savings are secure.
