{"product_id":"book-j8la","title":"Farewell Address Republican National Convention","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn August 15, 1988, in the Louisiana Superdome, Reagan delivered a message for economic freedom. We transformed our government from one that was consuming our prosperity into one that would get out of the way of those who create prosperity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReagan notes the \"inflated rhetoric of our friends in Atlanta last month. But then, inflation is their specialty.\" As John Adams said, \"Facts are stubborn things.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we came to Washington, we suffered the worst back-to-back years of inflation in 60 years, interest rates over 21 percent, declining productivity, weekly wages, and family income, the highest tax bill in history, and a 21 percent misery index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Iran stormed our embassy and took Americans hostage. The world questioned our resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe responded by cutting taxes and creating over 17 million jobs. Inflation is below 4 percent and interest rates cut in half. \"I noticed they don't call it Reaganomics anymore.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe rebuilt our armed forces, and liberated Grenada. During our administration \"not 1 inch of ground has fallen to the Communists.\" We're working on the Strategic Defense Initiative to protect ourselves and our allies against nuclear terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiberal elites resisted our defense buildup, our tax cuts, cutting fat out of government, and appointing judges committed to the Constitution. I've supported a balanced budget amendment and line-item veto, and every year the liberals said no. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe need Republican majorities in both houses. America needs George Bush. \"Go out there and win one for the Gipper.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod put this land between two great oceans to be found by people with a love of freedom, freedom of association, of worship, of hope and opportunity. Here, it's sunrise every day with new opportunities and dreams to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio recording courtesy of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAspenLeafMedia.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49401806913840,"sku":"BDj8la","price":1.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/j8la-Square-cover.jpg?v=1781348280","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j8la","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
