“while the White House is busy working on a plausible explanation as to how atomic espionage at Energy Department labs was ignored over the last 3 years, Republicans have been busy putting together a budget that reflects responsible common sense conservative values. For 40 years, the Democrats failed to take Social Security off the table, turning the Social Security Administration trust fund into a Washington slush fund. Well, those days are over. The Republican budget is going to do what should have been done a long time ago. It puts the Social Security surplus into a safe deposit box. Long-time observers of Washington know that we need a safe deposit box to keep big spending liberals from running off with it. The Social Security trust fund should not be a slush fund. The Republican budget takes 100 percent of the retirement surplus and sets it aside for Social Security and Medicare. We are going to hang a huge sign on the safe deposit box with a message, ``no liberals allowed. Do not touch.''”
