On the recordMarch 10, 1999
When the President is calling for 120 new government programs, maybe the question we should ask is, who is going to pay for that? Clearly, in his budget he says that we should take $250 billion out of the social security trust fund and we should increase taxes on top of that another $176 billion. That tells us where the money is coming from, from the pocketbooks of hardworking folks in South Dakota, and also the social security money for young people down the road, as well. I think that is an important question we should ask, where is that money coming from? If they propose a new government program, clearly they are raiding social security to pay for that new government program.
