On the recordMarch 10, 1994
I would just like to say to the gentleman from Wisconsin that I share his desire to see real economic growth in our country. And whether we have a Republican President or a Democratic President makes little difference to me, as it does the American people. We are interested in getting people back to work, but that does not mean that I agree with the thrust of the gentleman's remarks. In fact, I quite strongly disagree. We see some clouds on the horizon, because we know that there is something different about this recovery. We know that the one thing that we can point to that is quite different about this recovery is that during it, we increased taxes twice. And because of that, the recovery has been slow and sluggish and about half as strong as recoveries that took place after every other recession since 1950. So we are interested in getting people back to work, and that is a goal that we share. We differ on how to do that.
