On the recordMarch 24, 2004
Under the Clinton-Gore administration, this country created 22 million new jobs. Under the Clinton administration, the deficit was eliminated; and he left office with a substantial surplus and a projected surplus that would continue to grow. And under the Bush policies, this country has lost 2.2 million jobs. We would have to create 200,000 new jobs each month for the next 10 months just to bring this country back to the place it was when President Bush walked into office. And President Bush has given this country a $500 billion deficit, a burden for our children and our grandchildren.
