Bill Clinton actually said...

"I think it would be better, from the point of view of the public trust and also more binding on Congress, if we can pass a separate piece of legislation."

"I don't know how in the world we could ever make any decisions in this country if we made decisions on that basis."

"We have a budget deficit, we have an investment deficit, and we clearly have a trust deficit in America."

"Nothing has done more to erode the confidence of the American people in our Government than our chronic failure to manage our finances."
