Bill Clinton

I have embraced as my cause the idea that every person in this country ought to be able to live up to the fullest of their God-given potential.

If we do not change, then the good things that are happening today will not translate into jobs and opportunity for America.

Unless California is revived, the Nation cannot recover economically.

I intend to follow through on my pledge to make college loans available to all Americans based on their ability to repay when they take a job.

We have to increase investment in our people and our future and reduce our debt at the same time.

I'll tell you why not. I don't, and I'll tell you why not. When I was a boy, I went 2 years to a private school, to a wonderful Catholic school. And we paid tuition. And my folks were not wealthy. They were working people when we did it…

Wait a minute. Okay. My question for you is do you believe that women who have abortions should be tried for first degree murder?

I think that there will be a woman elected President in the not too distant future.

$1 invested today will save $3 in avoidable health and education problems for these children in the future.

$1 invested today saves $10 in the future in preventable childhood diseases.

Welfare recipients will be trained for work, not welfare.

First of all, we're already paying a lot of money on health care.

Our families have struggled without the help they need.

I think we can do a better job to preserve the diversity of the forests, the old forests up there, because most of it's already gone.

I sent Congress my economic plan to create new jobs and to lift the living standards of Americans and their children.

It's time to put politics aside and put America first.

I support the Endangered Species Act, but I want to see it administered in a way that doesn't throw a large number of Americans out of work.

I think we should try to provide some funds to local communities to fix those up first because that's cheaper and quicker.

I do propose to raise income tax rates, but only for the top 1.2 percent of taxpayers.

The price of my program is far lower with far higher results.

It means we should do whatever it takes to educate people for a lifetime at very high levels.

Today, I think we need that kind of experimentation based on the plain evidence that we are in a rut.

I will tell you, basically, the tax bill goes from about $20 billion to about $75 billion over the next 4 years.

I want to say one more word, if I might, about Senator Moynihan.

This program has some tax incentives, which is a fancy way for saying tax cuts for people who invest their money.
