                               The  American  economy  is  a  free  enterprise  system  that  has
                            emerged from the labors of millions of American workers; from the
                            choices  that  tens  of  millions  of  consumers  have  expressed  in  the
                            marketplace; from the efforts of thousands of private business people;

                            per capita quadrupled, reflecting growth in worker productivity.
                               Together,  all  sectors  of  the  American  economy  produce  almost

                            and each year they turn out almost $251 thousand million more. The
