I think a lot of people deserve credit, and I've tried to give it to them. But I believe that my plan is better than Senator Dole's ill-advised $550 billion scheme, which I will say again will blow a hole in the deficit. Our plan will balance the budget and grow the economy, preserve the environment, and invest in education. We have the right approach for the future. And look at the results: It is not midnight in America, Senator. We are better off than we were 4 years ago. Closing Statements Mr. Lehrer. All right, that's the last question, the last answer. Let's go now to the closing statements. Senator Dole. Are we done? Mr. Lehrer. Mr. President, you're first. Two minutes.
