“What I think he is doing that is so important is we are moving to balance the budget. These are then tough choices that we have to make. We are having a good discussion, I think, of a tough choice. Here is a program that has been very successful over a period of 30 years. It is a program that has had some failures over 30 years. I will bet we could find that any program in the Federal Government has had both successes and failures over 30 years. I think the question we have to ask ourselves today, then: Is this program worth continuing, adding more debt on our kids with the successes that it promises into the future or the potential failures on the path that it is on? I think that is the central question we have to ask. Is this worth putting more debt on the kids?”
