I want to balance the budget because I think it will explode economic growth.

The ADA became law because Americans... worked together in the best interest of everyone, putting party behind country.

We became the first nation in the world to commit ourselves to equal rights and equal opportunities for all citizens with disabilities.

There is a price to be paid for American leadership.

I think this country has two great challenges.

No President, Democrat or Republican, could accept these restrictions because they threaten the President's ability to protect and promote American interests around the world.

I do not believe a unilateral lift of the embargo is the right way to go.

We have to increase the rate of economic activity in America.

I think the strong course is to have a powerful use of air power and to support the rapid reaction force.

I am determined to see that we follow through.

It has meant more opportunity for 49 million Americans with disabilities to do their part to make us a stronger and better country.

I know we can do both without returning Medicare to the area of American partisan politics and to nightmares for the elderly people and their children in this country.

I am honored to stand in the tradition of the Presidents who fought for Medicare.

Do not let anybody tell you that we have to do that to stabilize the trust fund or to balance the budget.

Those who want to gamble with Medicare are asking Americans to bet their lives.

Their plan does propose to provide older Americans with a voucher for a set amount each year.

It is easy to see how, in all but the direst of emergencies, millions of older Americans would actually just give up the medical attention to which they are entitled.

Imagine what you want your country to look like.
