Political Quotes

“I quote from the majority leader of the U.S. Senate in late February of this year, when he stated, ``It is also true''--said Senator Dole--``as some have said, that our economy is the strongest it has been in 30 years.'' The business publication, Barron's magazine, that is looked upon with favor by the business community and has been for many, many years says: In short, Clinton's economic record is remarkable. Clinton rightfully boasted that our economy is the healthiest it's been in 30 years. This came, Mr. President, late in March of this year. DRI McGraw-Hill, late March of this year: The normal economic indicators suggest that the economy is in its best shape in decades. Mr. President, the statements that I have given here, the quote from the majority leader of the U.S. Senate, from Barron's magazine, and from DRI McGraw-Hill are not publications of the Democratic National Committee. We could not go further from the Democratic National Committee than the majority leader of the U.S. Senate, Barron's magazine, and McGraw-Hill, yet each of these state that the economy is the best it has been in decades. I am the first to acknowledge that we can do better. But we are doing pretty good. We are doing real well.”
