“----and to the elderly in terms of having--reducing the rate at which Medicare and Medicaid grow but still not really hurting a lot of the older people of the country. If we get a good balanced budget, if we can get a decent welfare reform bill, if the people see the system working, then I think they will not have such negative feelings about both parties. But I also believe, in fairness, that the Democratic Party has done a lot of things that most Americans never thought they would. I mean, the Democrats took the lead alone in reducing the deficit from $290 billion to $160 billion a year. They passed a crime bill that increased the death penalty but also invested more in prevention, that had ``three strikes and you're out'' but also put 100,000 police on the street. The crime rate is going down in every State in the country. The murder rate is down. The only---- Mr. King. So why are we upset?”
