On the recordSeptember 9, 1996
America's working families, as we have been talking about, face greater hardships now than at any time in the last decade and the impact of the Clinton Presidency is being felt on all fronts: the economy is flat, taxes are on the rise, while take-home pay is not going anywhere at all. Despite his administration's claims to the contrary, the economy has merely slogged along since Bill Clinton took office, growing at a barely perceptible 2.4 percent and making this recovery the slowest of the past century. The projected growth for next year is only 1.9 percent. At the same time, the Government's tax collectors are making new demands of working Americans and siphoning away more of their dollars than at any other time in history. In too many cases, workers are actually taking home less in their pay envelopes than they did 4 years ago.
