Transcription

TRANSCRIPTION: Michael Dukakis keeps attacking George Bush by saying that he's lying. Here's the truth. Michael Dukakis doesn't want you to see after eight years of Reagan-bush leadership. Unemployment is down inflation is down interest rates are down tax rates are down and family income is up. Why would we want to go back to the tax and spend policies of eight years ago? America can't afford that risk.
