On the recordFebruary 13, 1997
I think that same balanced budget to which the Senator alludes, if carried out and all of the changes made in it and projected it out beyond that time, would be balanced 3 years, no longer than 3 years thereafter without using the Social Security trust fund. So what I am saying, you put yourself on a trend line by entitlement reform to where you cannot get to balance without the Social Security trust fund in the process of accomplishing your major goal of getting it balanced within the unified budget with everything on budget.
