Bill Clinton actually said...

"This money will be spent to reduce the deficit and to provide economic incentives."

"We are committed to working to enhance the long-term economic and environmental health of the region."

"We think we have some options to offset it."

"I think if we prove we can take the tough decisions now and we're rewarded for it by resuming control of our own destiny, I don't think we'll have this level of partisanship on any other issue."
