President Clinton: Working Hard for Utah
Greater Prosperity, Safer Communities, Stronger Families

President Clinton Has Delivered on His Promises—Making Utah a Better Place to Live and Work.   President Clinton has been a leader on the issues the people of Utah care about. President Clinton has delivered:

	A Growing Economy: Unemployment in Utah has dropped from 4.4% to 2.9%. Our nation now has the lowest combined rate of unemployment, inflation, and mortgage rates since 1968. Consumer confidence is at its highest level in six years, real wages are rising for the first time in a decade, and homeownership is at a 15-year high.
	New Jobs: 177,400 new jobs created in Utah under President Clinton—over 50% more than during the previous four years; 10.5 million jobs created nationally.
	Stronger Families: The Family and Medical Leave Act protects 271,000 workers in Utah—allowing them 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the birth of a child or to take care of a sick family member without fear of losing their jobs. Teen pregnancy is falling, the poverty rate is decreasing, the number of people on welfare is declining.
	Increased Access to Education: 158,000 students in Utah can benefit from the President’s reformed student loan program.
	Cut the Deficit in Half: Reducing the burden of national debt for every Utah family of four by $15,000.
	A Tax Cut: By expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, the President cut taxes for 81,400 working families in Utah and 15 million working families nationwide.
	Safer Streets and Communities: The President’s Crime Bill adds 302 police officers to Utah’s streets.  “Three Strikes and You’re Out,” the Brady Bill, the Assault Weapons Ban, and community policing are working. Our nation’s crime rate is down. The number of murders reported has dropped 8%—one of the largest declines in three decades.
	Renewed Growth in Key Industries: After a decade of enormous job losses in construction, manufacturing, and autos, these industries have made a remarkable recovery—more than one million new jobs created under this Administration.

Fighting for a Balanced Budget That Reflects Our Values: Now we are fighting for a balanced budget that will lift the burden of debt off our children and reflect American values—a balanced budget that:

	Honors our commitment to give America’s seniors the health care they deserve.
	Protects investment in our young people’s futures—Head Start, access to college.
	Protects America’s clean water and air, national parks, and our public health.
	Preserves tax fairness for America’s working families.
