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.

And President Bush has given this country a $500 billion deficit, a burden for our children and our grandchildren.
