On the recordOctober 8, 1997
In between the blue line of where the money actually is and the green line of where the plan is, I am scared to death that even on a bipartisan basis we will rush out and spend the money. I always say this is like somebody who is on a six-month diet and finds out at the end of the second month that they are ahead of projections, so instead of finishing the diet, in three months they go out on an eating binge and eat lots of ice cream and cake to celebrate. Are we going to do that? Are we going to rush out and spend this money, or are we going to do the right thing and apply it to the national debt?
