Bill Clinton

Too many people are working longer and harder just to stay even.

I'm going to cut the cost of our Government and get rid of windfalls for the wealthy before I ask any of the rest of the American people to make a contribution that is fair and essential to grow our economy.

Together we can return to the time-honored American values of rewarding work, offering opportunity, demanding responsibility, and providing for our future as a community.

Well, a little bit. You know, it's a children's camp. They send the kids to the camp, and the camp is built like a German village. And they give them German names, German money, a German passport, and they have to speak conversational…

Oh, I've been there many times. I first went in '69, and I've been going a lot since then. And my daughter, as I said, goes to this German village in Minnesota, language camp, every year now for 5 years. Foreign Minister Kinkel. And she…

I can read quite a bit of the newspaper. I ran--I was in--where was I--in the English gardens in Munich. I ran in a 10K race there a couple of years ago when I was over there on a trade mission. And they wrote it up in the newspaper. And…

A little, yes. I haven't spoken it, literally, in 24 years. But when I was in the country, I heard the people talking, and usually I know a lot of what they're saying. Foreign Minister Kinkel. You can read a newspaper, perhaps?

For several days. The Bilderberg meeting was 3 or 4 days, I would guess. Foreign Minister Kinkel. That means that you understand a little bit German?

Yes, I've been there several times. When I was at Georgetown, I took 3 years of German. And I was in Germany in '69 and '70, and I've been back a few times since. And then I was in Baden-Baden in 1991 at the Bilderberg meeting. Foreign…

Yes, I think anything, any effort that increases the chance of some ultimately peaceful solution is important. But I think the United States has under review now all of its options in that area. And I think at this time the position that…

No, no. I think it will take 6 years before the number of young people who choose the service option as opposed to the repayment option hits its maximum number. That's what we calculated last year in the campaign and what we put out in our…

I haven't made any decision to scale it back to a pilot program. I had a meeting just yesterday on national service, and I'm working on funding it just as close to what I recommended in the campaign book, ``Putting People First,'' as…

I think they want us to have a steady, disciplined, downward path on the deficit. But I also would point out that sometimes when the markets have been up, the job market has been down. The market that counts is the market that affects…

Better, but still too high: you know, at the trough of the recession, unemployment was 6.8 percent, lower than it is now.

This sends a clearer signal than any words any of us could utter, that we have tried to give this Government back to the American people.

I think it's very important for both of us.

This bill will strengthen our families, and I believe it will strengthen our businesses and our economy as well.

I respect her legal talents, judicial record, and integrity.

We will not add or remove countries to or from the major drug producers list until we have our own confirmation that conditions in the country so warrant.

Now millions of our people will no longer have to choose between their jobs and their families.

It is my intention to develop a plan for high quality, affordable health care for all Americans.

Family medical leave has always had the support of a majority of Americans, from every part of the country, from every walk of life, from both political parties.

It will be modest because we don't want to be accused of ignoring the economic indicators, but it will be substantial.

Canada is our largest trading partner.

We have to be able to restore democracy in a way that convinces everybody that their human rights will be respected.
