Are these seven quotes each from major 2024 campaigns, or did I borrow from a historical source? Bonus points if you can guess which source (or sources) I used for the historical quote (or quotes).

Note: bonus points are purely hypothetical, and thus not redeemable in any official government currency or independent blockchain token.

1. Technology & Industry

"America's economic strength was built on basic industries. Today, in a changing economy, they are no less important. Strong basic industries are vital to our economic health and essential to our national security. And as major consumers of high technology, they are catalysts for growth in newly emerging fields."

2. Employment

"We will restore rising living standards in our country. And we will offer every American the opportunity for secure and productive employment."

3. Deficits

"Instead of runaway deficits, a [__________] Administration will pursue overall economic policies that sharply reduce deficits, down interest rates, free savings for private investment, prevent another explosion of inflation and put the dollar on a competitive footing."

4. Spending and Debt

"Non-defense discretionary spending, to be productively invested in programs to benefit the poor and middle class, and to build our social capital, is being overwhelmed by the enormous sum of money wasted on interest payments."

5. The Economy & Government

"The American economy is a complex mix, incorporating any number of different actors and entities—private businesses, professional societies, charitable institutions, labor unions, regional development councils, and local school boards. The economy is driven by millions of individual decisions on spending and saving, on investing and wages. Government is only one force among many woven into the fabric of American economic life."

6. Taxes

"Our tax code must produce sufficient revenue to finance our defense and allow for investment in our future, and we will ask every American to pay his or her fair share. But by broadening the tax base, simplifying the tax code, lowering rates, and eliminating unnecessary, unfair and unproductive deductions and tax expenditure, we can raise the revenues we need and promote growth without increasing the burden on average taxpayers."

7. The Middle East

"We believe that the United States should press for negotiations among Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other Arab states. We re-emphasize the fundamental principle that the prerequisite for a lasting peace in the Middle East remains an Israel with secure and defensible borders, strong beyond a shadow of a doubt; that the basis for peace is the unequivocal recognition of Israel's right to exist by all other states; and that there should be a resolution of the Palestinian issue."
