Transcript – Full

Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon. I would like to talk to you for a moment about dollars and cents, your dollars and cents. Now my opponents want to increase federal expenditures as much as 18 billion dollars a year. How will they pay for it? There are only two ways. One is to raise your taxes. That hurts everyone. The other is to increase our national debt, and that means raising your prices, robbing you of your savings, cutting into the value of your insurance, hurting your pocketbook every day at the drugstore, the grocery store, the gas station. Is that what you want for America? I say no. I say that's a false doctrine. I say that we can remain the strongest nation on earth only through continuing our program of responsible government. Vote for Nixon and Lodge, November 8th.
