We have an $11 trillion economy that is in the midst of nine consecutive quarters of economic growth.
GDP is growing at the fastest rate in the last 20 years.
We are growing faster than any nation in the developed world.
Interest rates are at a 40-year low.
Inflation is in check.
Homeownership and household net worth are at record highs.
The
unemployment rate, at 5.5%, is well below
its peak of 6.3 percent last June.
(Clinton was re-elected in 1996 when the unemployment rate was 5.5%.)
This is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
And well below the 8.8 percent unemployment rate of the EU.
Our economy has created 1.5 Million jobs since the August 2003.
ALL OF THIS IS...
DESPITE -
9/11 - the worst attack in our country's history, Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein,
the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Afghanistan, Iraq, Corporate corruption (that went unchecked
during the Clinton years), the stock market bubble bursting, democrat obstruction in Congress
AND a hostile press!
While winning two wars!
Freeing OVER 50,000,000 MUSLIMS in two nations!
With the fewest American casualties in any war ever!
Oh and by the way...
FACT: America [Under Bush] spends more money combating Aids than the rest of the world combined!!!
FACT:
President
Reagan implemented
policies in his 1st administration that
barred federal funding for human fetal tissue
research.
Not Bush!
FACT:

the 1st-ever federal funding
for embryonic stem cell research.
$25 million!!!
(Although Clinton promised it when he ran for President in 1992 - he never delivered)
