The interesting thing about what you say is that by reducing the tax burden on American families, by making it possible, again, to achieve this 3.5-percent growth that we have seen since World War II on average, and by balancing the budget by continuing the policies that we started during the last year in terms of reducing expenditures, by putting together a program like that it makes it better for all families in America. It makes it better for people who are workers. It makes it better for people who are entrepreneurs. It makes it better for people who are in all kinds of businesses across our country. It makes it better for the labor unions and the working folks because they can expect once again to see wages on the increase and our standard of living go up. It is not extreme importance that we as Members of Congress and the American people generally come to grips with what it is that we have been attempting to do here the last 2 years and what it is that Bob Dole has suggested that we do, which is very similar to what John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan each in their time suggested.
