Bill Clinton: “----telling you you can have everything you got--and let me just say this: Did you hear him say the Congress just voted…”

“----telling you you can have everything you got--and let me just say this: Did you hear him say the Congress just voted to increase student loans and scholarships? They did, after he left. The last budget he led cut Pell grants, cut student loans. I vetoed it when they shut the Government down. My plan would give students a dollar-for-dollar reduction for the cost of the typical community college tuition, a $10,000 deduction a year for the cost of college tuition, would let families save in an IRA and withdraw tax-free to pay for the cost of education. And it's all paid for. My whole administration is about your future, it's about what the 21st century is going to be like for you. And I hope you'll look at the ideas in it. Thank you. Senator Dole. Well, when you don't have any ideas, I guess you say the other person's ideas are old. As I said earlier, they don't have any ideas. Their idea is to raise taxes and spend more money. That's the liberal philosophy. If that's what you like, you've got a perfect candidate. President Clinton came to California in 1992 and said, ``The centerpiece in my first 4 years is going to be a middle class tax cut.'' Now, to all you who got that tax cut, congratulations, because you got a big tax increase. You got a $265 billion tax increase. And he stands here and says politicians who make promises like that ought to be ignored. Well, he made the promise. I keep my word, and you'll have a tax cut. It will help you in whatever you're going to do in the next few years. Thank you. Mr. Lehrer. Next question is for President Clinton, and it's from-- yes, ma'am? Yes? Affirmative Action”
