One of the ads makes the dubious claim that Kerry "cast a decisive vote that created 20 million new jobs." That's a reference to Kerry's vote for the 1993 Clinton economic package, which contained a large tax increase and some spending cuts aimed at reducing chronic federal deficits. It's true that the Clinton package passed the Senate by a single vote when Vice President Gore cast the tie-breaker. In that sense, every Democrat who voted for the measure has an equal claim to casting the "decisive" vote. And it's also true that the total number of payroll jobs in the US grew by 21.4 million between the passage of Clinton's package in August, 1993 and the peak of the boom in March, 2001.
But it is going too far to say that Clinton's package alone -- let alone Kerry's vote -- was responsible for the historic economic boom.
