Gerald Ford: While I've been your President economic recovery has replaced

recession. Over three million more Americans are working now than a year ago.

Total employment is the highest in our history. I have always believed that

to hold down the cost-of-living, we must hold down the cost of government.

That's just common sense. So I vetoed huge giveaway spending bills passed

by the Congress. This action has saved taxpayers over 13 billion dollars.

Runaway inflation has been brought under control. It has dropped from a rate

of 12 percent to less than 6 percent. Your dollars are worth more. My goal is full

recovery without inflation. Steadily, assuredly, America is working towards that goal.
