“I find it curious that speaker after speaker has criticized the Bush administration, and indeed, the majority in this Congress, for our progrowth economic policies when, in fact, the results of those policies worked to the betterment of the American people and create hope and opportunity and not despair and hand wringing. The only thing I believe contributes to despair and hand wringing and increased anxiety among the American people, and indeed the voters who are going to vote on November 2, are speeches made by supporters of the Democratic nominee on this floor and elsewhere, talking gloom and doom and despair as if America was no longer the last best hope on the planet. First, I wish to talk about the bill that was passed a couple of hours ago, the FSC/ETI bill, more appropriately named the JOBS bill. I was proud to be 1 of the 69 Senators who voted in support of that bill, for a number of reasons.”
