The Senator mentioned the creation of jobs during the 8 years President Clinton was in office. The Senator is aware, I am certain, that he, during his administration, created over 20 million new jobs. What has happened during the first 2 years of the Bush administration is there have been over 2 million jobs lost. A net gain of over 20 million jobs under Clinton; already a net loss of 2 million jobs under Bush.
