 The lad is coming right up to speak with him. Are you the only congressman here that the president might have mentioned? Right. Okay. I think most of his tribes were kids. You know, he was your welcome at Bowling. Great to have you came back. Just for you. Pleased to present to you the president of the United States. Celebrating the old painting today on Harry Truman's train. Following the same route that he took 36 years and one day ago, he was the last Democrat I voted for. Let's start with the record. The record of the administration which Mr. Mondale carried a full partnership. In those four years, they took the strongest economy in the world. The old fed baby that they left on our doorstep in January of 1981, it was a snarly economic wolf with sharp teeth. With the suffering of America, the deep and painful recession of the outrageous and frightening inflation, these things didn't start by accidental ignition or spontaneous combustion. They came about through the concerted mismanagement of the administration of which Mr. Mondale was a part and his liberal friends who controlled the Congress. They gave us five in a little more than a year. Senior citizens were driven to panic by higher ranks. They garnered food costs, dramatically increasing food prices and a federal health care cost which went up a massive 87% in just those four years. And they called that fairness. They highly supported and the young ones let's look at interest rates. My opponent has referred to something now that he calls the real interest rate and concerns in breaking. Well, I don't think because you live too well, they know you have learned to sacrifice and they're living less in economic limits. Well, I found that it's not so much that our opponents have a poor memory of this ruinous past. They just got a darn good for gathering. And in this campaign, possibly because it was over 20 when he left the vice presidency and is now down to 11.6. By reminding the Ohio voters of the true record and I quote, in the period between 1976 and 1988. And the worship of big government that my opponent still supports. His philosophy could be summed up in four sentences. If it's income, tax, revenue, spending and the answer to his promises is higher taxes. And massive new tax increases are precisely what he proposes. A few weeks back, he called his new plan pay as you go. But what it is, of course, is nothing but the old plan. Those tax increases to pay for his promises add up to the equivalent of 1,000 80. When the centerpiece of his economic program is backbreaking tax hikes, you can see why my opponent spent so much time using outrageous scare tactics. Now that's not my opponent's only tax extravagance. He came up with another one. It was a reform that we passed to protect you from the cruel, hidden tax when government uses inflation to force you into higher tax brackets when you get a cost of a flop. But forgive me, I love it a French flop. Reducing government spending and reducing deficits could worsen a recession and cause unemployment. The new Mondale fixed higher taxes lead to a healthy economy. The old Mondale publicly supported I just thought that was appropriate today when probably right now or possibly right now I should say I don't know where they are but while we're riding across Ohio on this train, those young heroes and females are circling this earth several times in that shuttle which will land tomorrow and God bless the people. And you know, I have to say all over the country in meetings of this kind I have been so thrilled and excited to see the turnout of young people at meetings of this kind. Let me just say for all of you or to all of you, you're what this campaign is, what this... And we see government along the campaign for him in 1948 that Mr. Truman could make very plain the differences between himself and his opponent. My friends, that's just what which he was carrying as a full partner. In those four years they took the strongest economy in the world and pushed it to the brink of collapse. They created the calamity of such proportions that we're still suffering the consequences and the suffering of America the deep and painful recession and the outrageous and frightening inflation. These things didn't start by accidental ignition or spontaneous combustion. Senior citizens were driven into panic by higher rents, exorbitant fuel costs dramatically increasing food prices and federal health years went up to 87%. They called it fairness. They punished the poor and the young who struggled as prices of necessity shot them to the mortgage rates, more than double. Car loans were hard to get and expensive. The automobile and home building industries were brought to their knees and after all this economic punishment our opponents said the trouble was you lived through well 26 in the campaign. They added the inflation rate to the unemployment rate and it came to 12.6% and they said that would have mentioned that in this campaign. Possibly because when he left the vice president seat federal tax who has been a tremendous force for responsible government the congressman I just mentioned Del Lada who spoke the wisdom that his name is on the bill that finally got control of federal spending after decades of tax and tax and spend and spend. He is a true friend of the taxpayers and a great friend of those who depend on economic progress to give them a chance at a better life. I important that his allies live in the past. They're celebrating the old of an era that has passed him by as it in boldly charting a new what's that thing for it's been in the weird campaign today on Harry Truman's train following the same weeks that he took 36 years and one day ago he was the last democrat in 1948 Mr. Truman said make very plain a different new disease let us start with the record the record of the administration which Mr. Mondale carried a full and pushed it to the brink of collapse they created a calamity of such proportions that we're still suffering the consequences of those economic time bounds you know on that 87% some fairness they punished the poor and the young they struggled the price of the necessity shot up faster than the other my opponent has referred to something that he calls real interest rates but people who don't pay interest reach on some academic smoke screen or foggy economic theory what they know is that when Jerry Ford left on three index and they didn't mention the misery index and I don't think my opponent will mention it in this campaign possibly because when he left office the misery index was done a very good job of slipping sliding and ducking away from this record but here in Ohio during the primaries a democratic candidate for the nomination Senator Gary Hart Walter Mondale may collect stable prices but Carter Mondale could not cure 12% Ohio those disastrous consequences did not come about by accident they came through the implementation of the very policies of out of control spending unfair taxation and worship of big government that my opponent he's lavished his campaign with promises that even his government
