On the recordMarch 10, 2004
I would say, in Louisiana, that dog just won't hunt. Those numbers don't add up. His charts do not tell the true story. People in Louisiana and throughout this country are very anxious right now because what they want to hear is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. While I am not saying those specific numbers were not correct, the truth is not just about giving the specific numbers; it is about the whole picture. I will begin with the truth and the facts to put it in reference. But what is also true is that the previous Republican administrations had left this country in such debt and in such despair and the deficits were so high that we could not contribute money to any program of any substance because the country was going broke.
