Bill Clinton actually said...

"I want to say very clearly that we need to set aside enough of the surplus for Medicare and Social Security before we address new initiatives like tax cuts."

"I believe that—some have suggested that by dedicating the surplus to Medicare, we won't need to make any decisions to reform the program."

"If we dedicate this portion of the surplus to Social Security and Medicare over the next 15 years, obviously, in most of those years that money will not be needed."

"We can't succeed here without your energy, your vision, your determination."
