Bill Clinton and Al Gore chart a new economic strategy for America, detailing what they believe and what they will do if they are elected. They state that their policies are "neither liberal or conservative, neither Democratic or Republican. They are new, they are different." They outline their plan to put people first and fight for what Americans deserve: good jobs, world-class education, quality health care, and safe streets and neighborhoods. Their strategy includes rebuilding America, converting from a defense to a peacetime economy, revitalizing cities, encouraging private investment, and opening up world markets. They also promise to reward work by providing tax fairness to working families, take away power from entrenched bureaucracies and special interests that dominate Washington, cut the deficit to half by 1996, and shut the door on the "Something for Nothing" decade.
