Transcript – Full

Mr. Nixon, what is the truth about the charge that America is not growing in economic strength? Well, the best answer is, look at your own paycheck. More Americans are working at better jobs than ever before. Americans are earning more and saving more than ever before. Do you remember what happened in the Truman administration? Prices went up so fast, your wage increases were gone almost before you got them. Inflation robbed everyone. But under our administration, we have been careful with your money. Your wage increases have been real. That's what I call honest economic growth. We must keep growing to stay strong and free. Only by staying strong can we keep peace. Vote for Nixon and Lodge November 8th. They understand what peace demands. For more information, visit nyseagrant.org
