Additional Description

Transcription - Full

Eisenhower answers America. I live carefully on my budget. Why can't the government do the same? It can. It should. Yet, democratic spending has gone from 4 billion to 85 billion a year. This reckless spending has got to stop. It's time for a change. Eisenhower answers America. General, if war comes, is this country really ready? It is not. The administration has spent many billions for national defense. Yet today, we haven't enough planes for the fighting in Korea. It's time for a change. Eisenhower answers America. Today they say I never had it so good. Yet my pension won't even feed me and my wife. It's not just your pension. It's the same with our bonds, our savings, our Social Security. They've all gone down. Yes, it's time for a change.
