State of the Union Address

2a. What is the state of the nation?
     President Clinton feels that the “state of the Union is STRONG.”  He goes on to explain that this time period has been the “longest peacetime expansion in history.”  With eighteen million new jobs (lowest peacetime unemployment since 1957), wages rising twice the rate of inflation, the highest rate of home ownership and the smallest welfare rolls in thirty years it’s very hard to argue with that.  Mr. Clinton also states that this is the first time in three decades that there is a balanced budget and America, right now, has the cleanest environment in thirty years.  He also predicts budget surpluses for the next twenty-five years – a sure sign of economic growth.

2b. What are the President’s domestic concerns?
     The President has many concerns that involve the nation. P resident Clinton hopes to use the rest of his term to strengthen schools, the military, and programs that aid the elderly.

2c. What are the President’s foreign concerns?
     Though Mr. Clinton has many concerns about the nation, he has very few about foreign affairs.  He devotes very little time to this matter and in that time he states that he is overjoyed with the peace in Northern Ireland and he is saddened by the violence in Kosovo.

2d. What are the President’s legislative recommendations?
     President Clinton was applauded on many occasions for certain legislative recommendations.
     His priority of the day, the Social Security system, took up more time than any other concern.  He called for Congress to invest 60% of the budget surplus for the next 15 years to go into the Social Security trust fund.  Th...
