In little rock governor Bill Clinton seized
upon new economic indicators as he took aim
at George Bush we now have more than three
years of consistent very low growth
and these growth figures are well below what it
would take to bring down unemployment
The figures Clinton is talking about include a
drop in our production of goods and services.
The annual growth rate is now less than half of
what it was during the first quarter of this year.
Clinton and his campaign today did not address
the question of lifting the president's ban on
selling F-16 fighter planes to Taiwan.
But Texas Democratic Senator Lloyd Benson did.
With 5,800 general dynamic jobs hanging in the
balance, Benson says the ban must be eliminated.
Benson, like Bush, supports funding on the
Super Collider, but that issue may become
a problem for the Democratic ticket in Texas.
Senator Al Gore voted against Super Collider
funding last year.
Today, Gore's Washington office told us that
Gore is concerned about the escalating price
tag for the project.
The Bush campaign calls Boer's vote one against
jobs in Texas.
