 and cut income taxes by almost 25%. And today, we're enjoying one of the longest economic expansions in history. Mortgage and auto loan rates are down. Inflation is plummeted from more than 12% to only 1.8%. And we've created over 11 and 1 half million new jobs. I could tell that it was really working when they stopped calling us Reaganomics. 30% below his feet. This is leave home without it. We don't have a deficit because we're taxed too little. And the leaders of the other party is just as apparent when it comes to judicial appointments. Well, the Massachusetts will be deciding who our judges are. As a judiciary committee, headed by Senator Strong-Burman, has been talking about political differences and all. Reminds me of a story. Find out when you get my age. Everything reminds you of a story. It was a democratic fundraiser in a downtown hotel. And when they came out of the fundraiser, there was a kid with some problems. And it was telling them, buy a Democrat public. Buy a Democrat public. Two weeks later, the Republicans held the fundraiser in the same place. When they came out, the same kid was there. With the public. Buy a Republican public. Buy a Republican public. Kid says now they got their eyes on it. They have the finest weapons and equipment that we can produce to move ahead with our strategic defense against ballistic missiles, SDI, the Soviet Union, from a position of strength. And it was SDI that brought the Soviet Union to the bargaining table. And let me pledge to you, our goal is to keep America strong, to save the West from nuclear, neutral nuclear terror. SDI is America's insurance policy to protect us from accidents or something that men like Edward, who might come about for a Qaddafi, or just in case the Soviets don't eat their side of a bargain. This is great, because the same people who announced only Cruel Out in Afghanistan last month are saying, trust us, an arms control this month. They didn't pull anyone out, just as many there could always work. Phony bookkeeping won't end the war. Remember? They can't bring troops in one month and announce troop withdrawal the next. They can't talk peace and regulate and wage war in Kabul. So I have a message to the Soviets. Pull back in Afghanistan and move forward on arms control. It was us, me with the baton and the band and the break. When we started down the street and the band was playing, and I was pumping the baton, and suddenly that Marshall rode back down the line of parades, see that everything was coming along all right. And pretty soon, I thought the music was beginning to sound faint. And I sneaked a look back. Marshall had caught up with the parade just in time to turn the whole band to the right, down the intersection where they were supposed to go. And I was drawn up the street all by myself. I tell that.
