Kerry on Clinton

[Feanorcurufinwe]

(what) American would not trade the economy we had in the 1990s, the fact that we were not at war and young Americans were not deployed. When we did go to war, we won it in Kosovo quickly and decisively and appropriately.

What American would not trade the economy, the unemployment rate and the movement in the right direction that we had under President Clinton?

We balanced the budget, we paid down the debt for two years, we created 23 million new jobs, and I want the president to go out and remind America that we can do better than we are doing today. These people are the pessimists, because they are satisfied with the status quo. John Edwards and I believe America can break new frontiers of science. We believe we can take care of children and fund education. We believe we can have health care that's affordable for all Americans. But we're going to be honest with the American people. You can't do those things and have a great, big giant tax cut for the wealthiest people in the nation.
