Transcription
The people ask Barry Goldwater. You bet I've got a question. I'm Neil Estes. I know the dollar buys less now than it did 10 or 20 years ago, so what I'm saving will be worth less in the future if the cost of living keeps going up. What I'd like to know is what would Senator Barry Goldwater do about the high cost of living? How would he stop it? Well, I'd start where this administration has so completely failed. I'd cut down government spending, and I'd move to keep down the size of government, too. Further, I'd see to it that we had a climate once again in America where this free, competitive enterprise system of ours could flourish so that real jobs with real wages would be an answer not only to poverty but to the persistent problems of inflation and higher living costs. I'd depend on freedom and free American men and women in my war on poverty. In your heart, you know he's right. Vote for Barry Goldwater. Vote for Barry Goldwater.
