“when people talk about 9/11, they have to take into consideration that this chart goes back to Truman and Eisenhower, that includes the Korean War, it includes Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, it included the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the hostages in Iran, Grenada, Somalia, Kosovo, the Persian Gulf War. All of those are on this chart. Everyone created jobs during their four-year administration. President Clinton, 10 million jobs the first term, over 10 million both the first term and over 10 million jobs over the second term. Everyone has had problems. There have been recessions all the way up and down here. Everyone has been able to deal with adversity and create jobs. Until you get here. Now, if the President had offered an economic plan that had been rejected, he might say that because you rejected my plan, if you had only adopted my plan, things would have been better. We adopted his plan. We passed, I did not vote for them, but Congress passed his plan. And it resulted in a massive deficit and job loss.”
