Clintonavoided the lies he made since the 1992 presidential campaign (brought up byDole, of course) by revealing all that he accomplished for the good of thepeople.

Theyboth had separate ideas on different topics such as education, taxes, etc. They practised these opposite ideas to attack each other.          The debates went smoothly through the first minutes without a kettle of fish of conflict but shortly into the debate Clinton makes his claim that "TheUnited States is relegate off now than it was four years ago". Dole attacks bysaying "Hes (Clinton) better off than he was four years ago".

In turn Dole complains that the United States hasstagnant reinforcement, and that 40% of wages are dog-tired on taxes. On the topic of druguse in the United States Clinton claimed that cocaine use decreased 30% and curse decreased as well. Dole soon reacted by saying, rather sardonically thatdrug abuse has doubled and for so much money that has been spent on crime littlehas changed. Throughout the debates Clinto n claims he has done so much good forthe country such as cutting the coat of political sympathies, and stimulating economicgrowth. In return Dole would blame him for exaggerating and thieving credit forothers work such as governors, senators, etc. Clinton did little come inattacking but at one point, for example, he criticized Doles 550 billion sawbuck"scheme" to cut Medicare and Social Security.          Clinton and Dole showed very different views on education.Clinton observed education as dependent on the federal government program forfunding.
