Bill Clinton actually said...

"This year's theme, 'The Legacy of African American Leadership for the Present and the Future,' is a recognition that we can draw strength and inspiration to face our challenges."

"This budget makes a downpayment on that goal."

"Fiscal discipline has transformed the vicious cycle of budget deficits and high interest rates into a virtuous cycle of budget surpluses and low interest rates."

"I am committed to upholding the pledge I made last year—that we must not drain the surplus until we save Social Security."
