I've always tried to do more with less, because when I started less was the order of the day.
Bill Clinton
The Public Record
Bill Jefferson Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from January 20, 1993, to January 20, 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the position of Governor of Arkansas from 1983 to 1992. During his presidency, Clinton focused on several key policies, including welfare reform, economic growth, and healthcare reform. His administration is noted for achieving a budget surplus and for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
When I asked the Pfizer chairman why he did this, he said, 'I realized we had a marketing strategy designed to saturate 15 percent of the world. I would like to sell to the other 85 percent.'
It's crazy they don't have enough money to do anything, but--this program's dealing with AIDS and another program's dealing with maternal and child health and another program's dealing with malaria.
If people think you care whether their children live or die, you don't have to send our young people off to war as often and it also saves money.
First of all, apart from the moral claim that we ought to save every child we can, we live in an interdependent world in which we have learned the hard way that, no matter how brilliantly our forces perform, we cannot kill, jail, or occupy…
Since 1981 the United States has followed a policy until the last year, when we started rethinking it, that we rich countries that produce a lot of food should sell to poor countries and relieve them of the burden of producing their own…
The final thing I would say is this may be a fool's errand, but for 25 years I have seen the surveys which show that large majorities of the American people actually support programs like this and would support spending a higher percentage…
I think that we should spend more money on foreign aid, but we should also get more value out of the money we spend.
I also want to thank you for the chance to be here with Bill Gates. I think he and Melinda and his father and the people with the Gates Foundation have not only provided more money for health advances, but have actually spent the money…
I think we need to seriously look at how we educate and train people in terms of their retention.
I also want to thank you for repeatedly recognizing that global health is a foreign policy priority for the United States.
If you could see these things in operation, they come across as clearly pro-family and profoundly pro-life.
Absolutely. The problems--all major debates in rich countries about health care policy, education policy, they're about how do you change the system you have, what's the right way to do it, what's the wrong way to do it.
The most important thing maybe about this GHI proposal is providing a coherent health system and a sort of a one-stop place in developing countries.
I understand, therefore, the dilemmas that you and the Congress will face in funding this initiative.
I do sleep more now than I used to, and I sleep more on planes than I used to, but I have to keep working. It's what I should do. I mean, I -- that's what my life is for. I was given a good mind, a strong body. And, you know, I've had a…
I do sleep now more than I used to. And I sleep more on planes than I used to. But I have to keep working; it's what I should do. I mean, that's what my life is for.
He's also very active in trying to keep this thing out in front of the public and try to get, you know, the cleanup done and then move to the rebuilding.
It was clear that he had a whole lot of stuff he had to do with regard to Haiti, and people have made so much of that.
I'm going to be fine. I have got the best care in the world. But there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti who don't.
I'm going to be fine. I've got the best care in the world. But there's still hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti who don't. So go to ClintonFoundation.org and give a couple of bucks to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Relief Fund.
The Haitians are determined that Haiti won't become a ground where children can be trafficked or sold or anything like that. That's a noble goal. It may be that the Idaho missionaries, to their explanation is absolutely accurate and…
